Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

Where do conflicts, where do wrangles come from, in your midst? Is it not from these passions of yours that war among your members?

But now you are glorying in these insolent boastings of yours; all such glorying is evil.

your gold and your silver have become covered with rust, and the rust on them will give evidence against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded up wealth in these last days.

Look, the wages you have fraudulently refused to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out [against you]. And the cries of these harvest hands have reached the ears of the Lord of [heavenly] armies [i.e., Almighty God].
