James 5:1-3

Contemporary English Version

Warning to the Rich

5 You rich people should cry and weep! Terrible things are going to happen to you. ^2 (A) Your treasures have already rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. ^3 (B) Your money has rusted, and the rust will be evidence against you, as it burns your body like fire. Yet you keep on storing up wealth in these last days.
