Rich Oppressors Will Be Judged
1 Come now, you arich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you!
2 Your ariches are corrupted, and byour garments are moth-eaten.
3 Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. aYou have heaped up treasure in the last days.
4 Indeed athe wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and bthe cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of1 Sabaoth.
5 You have lived on the earth in pleasure and1 luxury; you have fattened your hearts3 as in a day of slaughter.
