Expanded Bible

A Warning to the Rich

5 You rich people, ·listen [^LCome now; 4:13]! Cry [Weep] and be very sad because of the ·troubles [miseries] that are coming to you. ² Your riches have rotted, and your clothes have been eaten by moths. ³ Your gold and silver have ·rusted [corroded], and that ·rust [corrosion] will be a ·proof that you were wrong [^Lwitness/testimony/evidence against you]. It will eat your ·bodies [flesh] like fire. You ·saved [hoarded; stored up] your treasure ·for [or in] the last days [^Cjust before judgment day, when such treasures will be useless].
