 The Lord Himself became poor that we through His poverty might be rich. It is to the poor the gospel is sent; and God hath chosen "the foolish", "the weak", the "base", and the "despised" of this world. There may, indeed, be some mighty and some high-born that are called, but, says the Scripture, "not many" (1 Cor. 1:26-29). (The Coming of the Lord: James 5 by H. Smith)
 They were utterly self-indulgent, thinking of little but their own luxuries….Appearances however are deceitful. In reality they were but like brute beasts being fattened for killing. (James 5 by F.B. Hole)
 If Psa. 73 be read we discover that this is no new thing. Asaph had been greatly troubled observing the prosperity of the wicked, coupled with the chastenings and sorrows of the people of God; and he found no satisfactory solution of the problem until he went into the sanctuary of God. (James 5 by F.B. Hole)

Ye have lived luxuriously on the earth and indulged yourselves; ye have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter;

W. Kelly Translation

5
Ye lived luxuriously on the earth and indulged yourselvesa; ye nourished your hearts inb a day of slaughter.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
It should be "Luxuriously ye lived on the earth and indulged yourselves; ye nourished... condemned... killed," etc. All is summed up conclusively in the view of the writer; who nevertheless guards against possible misuse by his transition to the present in the closing words, "he doth not resist you" (vs. 6). (Compare also vss. 7-10).
b
"As" before "in" of the T. R. is rightly excluded, though not a few authorities favour its insertion.
