1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. |
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. |
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. |
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. |
5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. |
6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. |
