And now, my brethren, do ye suppose that God justifieth you in this thing? Behold, I say unto you, Nay. But he condemneth you, and if ye persist in these things, his judgments must speedily come unto you.

Simple English

My brothers, do you think God approves of this? I tell you, no. He condemns you. If you keep doing these things, his judgments will come quickly.

Paraphrase

Do you really think God approves of this? Let me be clear: he doesn’t. He condemns you. And if you keep it up, his judgment will come down on you fast.
