Warning to the Rich Come now, you rich! Weep and cry aloud over the miseries that are coming on you.
Your riches have rotted and your clothing has become moth-eaten.
Your gold and silver have rusted and their rust will be a witness against you. It will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have hoarded treasure!
Look, the pay you have held back from the workers who mowed your fields cries out against you, and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
You have lived indulgently and luxuriously on the earth. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.
You have condemned and murdered the righteous person, although he does not resist you.
Patience in Suffering So be patient, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s return. Think of how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the ground and is patient for it until it receives the early and late rains.
