  1. 3Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.
  2. 4Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Armies.
  3. 5You have lived in luxury on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
  4. 6You have condemned and you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn’t resist you.
  5. 7Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.
