Warning to the Rich

5 Come now, you who are rich, weep and howl over the miseries that are coming upon you. 2 Your riches have rotted, and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be a testimony against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days. 4 Behold, the wages of the workers who harvested your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. 5 You have lived on the earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have nourished your hearts [fn]as in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous man; he does not resist you.
