16:19 “There was a rich man who dressed in purple 11 and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously 12 every day.
5:1 Come now, you rich! Weep and cry aloud 13 over the miseries that are coming on you. 5:2 Your riches have rotted and your clothing has become moth-eaten. 5:3 Your gold and silver have rusted and their rust will be a witness against you. It will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have hoarded treasure! 14
