5:1 The bad ending of wealthy prigs

5So you wealthy people, come and cry about the miseries that are about to hit you all. 2Your riches have rotted and your clothes have become moth-eaten.[ref] 3Your gold and silver has corroded, and that corrosion will speak out against you and will eat away your bodies like fire because you stored up wealth in this final age. 4The unpaid wages of the workers who harvested your fields are crying out[ref] and the desperate requests of those harvesters have been heard by the master of platoons of messengers. 5You have indulged yourselves and lived luxuriously but you’ve been fattening yourselves up as the time for your slaughter approaches. 6You all convicted innocent people and had them executed, even when they weren’t doing anything against you.


5Be_come now, you_all rich ones, weep, wailing over the miseries of_you_all which are coming_over.
2The riches of_you_all has_rotted, and the clothes of_you_all moth-eaten has_become.
3The gold of_you_all and the silver has_been_corroded, and the rust of_them for a_testimony to_you_all will_be, and will_be_consuming the fleshes of_you_all like fire.
You_all_stored_up in the_last days.
4Behold, the wage of_the workers, which having_harvested the fields of_you_all, which having_been_withheld by you_all, is_crying_out, and the outcries of_the ones having_reaped, into the ears of_the_master of_armies have_come_in.
5You_all_indulged on the earth.
And you_all_lived_luxuriously, you_all_nourished the hearts of_you_all in the_day of_slaughter.
6You_all_convicted, you_all_murdered the righteous, yet_not he_is_opposing against_you_all.
