CHAPTER 5
(Warning to the Rich
5:1-6)
5:1-6)
1 Come now, you 1arich, bweep, chowling over your miseries, which are coming upon you!
2 Your ariches have rotted and your garments have become bmoth-eaten;
3 Your gold and your silver have arusted, and their rust will be a testimony against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have stored up btreasure in the last days.
4 Behold, the awages of the workmen who mowed your fields, which have been withheld by you, cry out; and the 1cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the 2Lord of hosts.
5 You have lived aluxuriously on the earth and have bgiven yourselves to pleasure; you have 1nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.
6 You condemned, you murdered the 1righteous; he does not aresist you.
