Exegesis
The nominative subject hoi plousioi {οἱ πλούσιοι | hoi ploú-sioi} ‘the rich people’ is fronted for contrast, and the present verb katadynasteuousin {καταδυναστεύουσιν | ka-ta-dy-na-steú-ou-sin} ‘they oppress’ with the genitive humon {ὑμῶν | hu-môn} ‘of you’ depicts ongoing exploitation.
In context — James 2:6
But you have dishonored the poor man. Are not the rich men the ones who oppress you and who drag you into courts ?
