The Inconsistencies of James

I've gt to tell you that I find James to be quite inconsistent.  Let's take a look.

James 5:1-6(NKJV)

1Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! 

2Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. 

3Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days. 

4Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of £Sabaoth. 

5You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts £as in a day of slaughter. 

6You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you.

Here we have James invoking the stereotype of the "evil rich".  Notice vs 5, "you have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury".

Now lets look at just a few verses down. 

James 5:10-11(NKJV)

10My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience. 

11Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

So James invokes Job to make his point.  But wait a minute.  Isn't Job the antithesis of the point James is making?  Didn't Job live his life on earth in pleasure and luxury?  He did until God allowed Satan to test him. 

And why did God allow Satan to test Job?  Was it because Job was an "evil rich guy"?  Not at all.  God allowed Satan to test Job because Job was one of the most righteous of men on earth according to God!

And what was God's ultimate reward to Job?  He made Job even more prosperous when it was over!

So who you going to believe about the rich, James or God?
