Woes On The Rich Who Oppress Others
1 Come on now, you rich people, cry and wail over the miseries that are coming upon you. 2 Your wealth has rotted and moths have eaten your clothing. 3 Your gold and silver have tarnished and their tarnish will be a testimony against you [i.e., you have hoarded your wealth instead of using it to benefit others], and they will devour your flesh as fire [i.e., your riches will ultimately consume you]. You have hoarded up your riches in these last days.
