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 (A)in the last days! Behold, (B)the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields—that which has been withheld by you—cries out against you; and (C)the outcries of those who did the harvesting have reached the ears of (D)the [a]Lord of [b]Sabaoth. You have (E)lived luxuriously on the earth and lived in self-indulgence. You have [c]fattened your hearts in a (F)day of slaughter.
