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.
