1 Come now, rich ones, weep, crying aloud over the hardships coming upon you!
2 Your riches have rotted, and your garments have become moth-eaten.
3 Your gold and silver have become rusty, and their rust shall be a witness against you and shall eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.
4 See, the wages of the workmen who mowed your fields, which you kept back, cry out. And the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of יהוה of hosts.
5 You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury, you have fattened your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
