In this passage James gives a warning to the rich who oppress and exploit the underprivileged warning them about the danger of money, the deceit of the heart and the ultimate death that this worldly mindset of self-indulgence will bring. Riches will amount to nothing in the end, but the humble and righteous will prevail.
