Warning to the Rich
5 Come now, (A)you rich, weep and howl for the (B)miseries that are coming upon you. 2 (C)Your riches have rotted and (D)your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. (E)You have laid up treasure (F)in the last days. 4 Behold, (G)the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and (H)the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of (I)the Lord of hosts. 5 (J)You have lived on the earth in luxury and (K)in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in (L)a day of slaughter.

and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,
26 (E)the lambs will provide your clothing,
and the goats the price of a field.
27 (F)There will be enough goats' milk for your food,

and the grass from the hills is gathered in,

and the goats with the price of a field.
27 You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed your family
and to nourish your female servants.
