James 5:1 - The Message1-3 And a final word to you arrogant rich: Take some lessons in lament. You’ll need buckets for the tears when the crash comes upon you. Your money is corrupt and your fine clothes stink. Your greedy luxuries are a cancer in your gut, destroying your life from within. You thought you were piling up wealth. What you’ve piled up is judgment. See the chapterMore versionsKing James Version (Oxford) 17691 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
