aGo to now, ye brich men, weep and howl for your cmiseries that shall come upon you. 2 dYour riches are corrupted, and eyour garments are fmotheaten. 3 Your gold and silver gis cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. hYe have heaped treasure together ifor the last days. 4 Behold, kthe hire of the labourers who have reaped down your lfields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and mthe cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of nsabaoth. 5 oYe have lived in pleasure on the earth, and pbeen wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in qa day of slaughter. 6 rYe have condemned and skilled tthe just; and he doth not resist you.

7 ||Be patient therefore, brethren, unto uthe coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman wwaiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and xhath long patience for it, until he receive ythe early and yzlatter rain. 8 Be ye also xpatient; astablish your hearts: for bthe coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 9 ||Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, cthe judge standeth dbefore the door.
