2. Your riches have been corrupted, and your garments have been eaten by moths.
3. Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be a testimony against you, and it will eat away at your flesh like fire. You have stored up wrath for yourselves unto the last days.
4. Consider the pay of the workers who reaped your fields: it has been misappropriated by you; it cries out. And their cry has entered into the ears of the Lord of hosts.
5. You have feasted upon the earth, and you have nourished your hearts with luxuries, unto the day of slaughter.
6. You led away and killed the Just One, and he did not resist you.
7. Therefore, be patient, brothers, until the advent of the Lord. Consider that the farmer anticipates the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently, until he receives the early and the late rains.
8. Therefore, you too should be patient and should strengthen your hearts. For the advent of the Lord draws near.
9. Brothers, do not complain against one another, so that you may not be judged. Behold, the judge stands before the door.
10. My brothers, consider the Prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of departing from evil, of labor, and of patience.
