VI. Love For the Poor
Come now, you rich, weep and
howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and
your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust
will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid
up treasure for the last days. Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your
fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the harvesters
have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in
luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.
You have condemned, you have killed the righteous man; he does not resist
you.237
