ἀμάω G0270
Having reaped, gathered in a harvest; completed harvesting
This verb means to reap or harvest grain. In James 5:4, the wages of workers 'who reaped' the fields cry out against unjust landowners. Classical Greek used it for harvesting crops and poetically for gathering various things. The multilingual glosses (Spanish 'que-segaron', German 'ernten') confirm this agricultural sense. James's prophetic indictment addresses economic exploitation: the harvested wealth was produced by laborers whose withheld wages constitute evidence against oppressors, personified as crying out for justice.

1. sense 1 — The aorist active participle in genitive masculine plural form indicates completed harvesting action by workers, modifying 'the wages of those who reaped.' Classical epic usage extended reaping metaphorically to gathering or drawing various things, but here the literal agricultural sense prevails. James's imagery presents the withheld wages as possessing agency, crying out like Abel's blood. The workers' completed labor creates moral debt that heaven hears, invoking prophetic themes of economic justice and divine accountability for exploitation. 1×
