1 Come now, ye rich, weep, howling over your miseries that are coming upon you! 2 Your wealth has become corrupted, and your garments have become moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver are covered with rust, and their rust will be for a witness against you, and will eat your flesh, as fire. Ye laid up treasures in the last days! 4 Behold, the hire of the workmen who mowed down your fields, which is fraudulently kept back by you, is crying out; and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. 5 Ye lived luxuriously on the earth, and rioted in pleasure; ye nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter. 6 Ye condemned, ye killed the righteous one; he does not resist you. 7 Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth; being patient over it, until it receives the early and latter rain . 8 Be ye also patient; establish your hearts, because the coming of the Lord has drawn near. 9 Murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye be not judged: behold, The Judge has taken His stand before the doors!
