Miseries of the Rich

5 ^(A)Come now, ^(B)you rich, ^(C)cry, howling over your miseries which are coming upon you. ^2 (D)Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten. ³ Your gold and your silver have rusted, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire. You have stored up such treasure ^(E)in the last days! ⁴ Behold, ^(F)the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields—that which has been withheld by you—cries out against you; and ^(G)the outcries of those who did the harvesting have reached the ears of ^(H)the ^[a]Lord of ^[b]Sabaoth. ⁵ You have ^(I)lived luxuriously on the earth and lived in self-indulgence. You have ^[c]fattened your hearts in a ^(J)day of slaughter. ⁶ You have condemned and ^(K)murdered ^(L)the righteous man; ^[d]he does not resist you.
