There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and feasted sumptuously every day:

Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

Much

And the people shall be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the elder, and the base against the honorable.
