James 5:4 · King James Version
Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
The wages do the crying. James gives the money a voice, and says God is listening to it.
