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. 6 You have condemned and (M)murdered (N)the righteous person. He does not resist you.

James 2:5-6
English Standard Version
5 Listen, my beloved brothers, (A)has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be (B)rich in faith and heirs of (C)the kingdom, (D)which he has promised to those who love him? 6 But you (E)have dishonored the poor man. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you, and the ones who (F)drag you (G)into court?

Romans 11:7-12
English Standard Version
7 What then? (A)Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest (B)were hardened, 8 as it is written,
(C)“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
(D)eyes that would not see
and ears that would not hear,
down to this very day.”
9 And David says,
(E)“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them;
10 let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see,
and bend their backs forever.”
Gentiles Grafted In
11 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass (F)salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. 12 Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion[a] mean!

Psalm 72:12-14
English Standard Version
12 For he delivers (A)the needy when he calls,
the poor and him who has no helper.
13 He has pity on the weak and the needy,
and saves the lives of the needy.
14 From oppression and violence he redeems their life,
and (B)precious is their blood in his sight.
Psalm 69:33
English Standard Version
33 For the Lord hears the needy
and (A)does not despise his own people who are prisoners.
Deuteronomy 32:21-42
English Standard Version
21 (A)They have made me jealous with what is no god;
they have provoked me to anger (B)with their idols.
So (C)I will make them jealous with those who are no people;
I will provoke them to anger with (D)a foolish nation.
22 For (E)a fire is kindled by my anger,
and it burns to (F)the depths of Sheol,
devours the earth and its increase,
and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 “‘And I will heap disasters upon them;
(G)I will spend my arrows on them;
24 they shall be wasted with hunger,
and devoured by plague
and poisonous pestilence;
I will send (H)the teeth of beasts against them,
with the venom of (I)things that crawl in the dust.
25 (J)Outdoors the sword shall bereave,
and indoors terror,
for young man and woman alike,
the nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
26 (K)I would have said, “I will cut them to pieces;
(L)I will wipe them from human memory,”
27 had I not feared provocation by the enemy,
lest their adversaries should misunderstand,
lest they should say, (M)“Our hand is triumphant,
it was not the Lord who did all this.”’
28 “For they are a nation void of counsel,
and there is (N)no understanding in them.
29 (O)If they were wise, they would understand this;
they would (P)discern their latter end!
30 How could (Q)one have chased a thousand,
and two have put ten thousand to flight,
unless their Rock (R)had sold them,
and the Lord had given them up?
31 For (S)their rock is not as our Rock;
(T)our enemies are by themselves.
32 For their vine (U)comes from the vine of Sodom
and from the fields of Gomorrah;
their grapes are grapes of (V)poison;
their clusters are bitter;
33 their wine is the poison of (W)serpents
and the cruel venom of asps.
34 “‘Is not this laid up in store with me,
(X)sealed up in my treasuries?
35 (Y)Vengeance is mine, and recompense,[a]
(Z)for the time when their foot shall slip;
for (AA)the day of their calamity is at hand,
and their doom comes swiftly.’
36 For (AB)the Lord will vindicate[b] his people
(AC)and have compassion on his servants,
when he sees that their power is gone
and there is none remaining, (AD)bond or free.
37 Then he will say, (AE)‘Where are their gods,
(AF)the rock in which they took refuge,
38 who ate the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their drink offering?
Let them rise up and help you;
let them be your protection!
39 “‘See now that (AG)I, even I, am he,
and there is no god beside me;
(AH)I kill and I make alive;
(AI)I wound and I heal;
and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For (AJ)I lift up my hand to heaven
and swear, As I live forever,
41 if I (AK)sharpen my flashing sword[c]
and my hand takes hold on judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries
and will repay those who hate me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
and (AL)my sword shall devour flesh—
with the blood of the slain and the captives,
from the (AM)long-haired heads of the enemy.’

Deuteronomy 28:49-68
English Standard Version
49 (A)The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the earth, (B)swooping down like the eagle, a nation (C)whose language you do not understand, 50 a hard-faced nation (D)who shall not respect the old or show mercy to the young. 51 It shall (E)eat the offspring of your cattle and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed; it also shall not leave you grain, wine, or oil, the increase of your herds or the young of your flock, until they have caused you to perish.
52 “They shall (F)besiege you in all your towns, until your high and fortified walls, in which you trusted, come down throughout all your land. And they shall besiege you in all your towns throughout all your land, which the Lord your God has given you. 53 And (G)you shall eat the fruit of your womb, the flesh of your sons and daughters, whom the Lord your God has given you, (H)in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies shall distress you. 54 The man who is the most tender and refined among you will (I)begrudge food to his brother, to (J)the wife he embraces,[a] and to the last of the children whom he has left, 55 so that he will not give to any of them any of the flesh of his children whom he is eating, because he has nothing else left, (K)in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your towns. 56 (L)The most tender and refined woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because she is so delicate and tender, will begrudge to the husband she embraces,[b] to her son and to her daughter, 57 her afterbirth that comes out from between her feet and her children whom she bears, because lacking everything she will eat them secretly, (M)in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in your towns.
58 “If you are not careful to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name, (N)the Lord your God, 59 then the Lord will bring on you and your offspring extraordinary afflictions, afflictions severe and lasting, and sicknesses grievous and lasting. 60 And he will bring upon you again all (O)the diseases of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you. 61 Every sickness also and every affliction that is not recorded in the book of this law, the Lord will bring upon you, until you are destroyed. 62 Whereas (P)you were as numerous (Q)as the stars of heaven, you shall be left few in number, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God. 63 And as the Lord (R)took delight in doing you good and multiplying you, so the Lord will (S)take delight in bringing ruin upon you and destroying you. And you shall be plucked off the land that you are entering to take possession of it.
64 “And the Lord (T)will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and (U)there you shall serve other gods (V)of wood and stone, (W)which neither you nor your fathers have known. 65 And (X)among these nations you shall find no respite, and there shall be no resting place for the sole of your foot, but (Y)the Lord will give you there a trembling heart and failing eyes and (Z)a languishing soul. 66 Your life shall hang in doubt before you. Night and day you shall be in dread and have no assurance of your life. 67 (AA)In the morning you shall say, ‘If only it were evening!’ and at evening you shall say, ‘If only it were morning!’ because of the dread that your heart shall feel, and (AB)the sights that your eyes shall see. 68 And the Lord (AC)will bring you back in ships to Egypt, a journey that I promised that (AD)you should never make again; and there you shall offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but there will be no buyer.”
