In James 5:4, the nominative plural feminine form names the reapers’ cries alongside the withheld wage; the APB renders the clause "the outcries of the reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of hosts."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In James 5:4, the APB presents the term as "the outcries of the reapers." This rendering is confirmed by the clause rather than treated as a precise lexical equivalent.
