For if a gold-ringed man may come into your synagogue, in shining apparel, and a poor man may also come in with soiled clothing;

out of the same mouth come forth blessing and scolding. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but it is earthly, intellectual, and demoniacal.

Whence come wars and whence come battles within you? are they not from thence, from your pleasures warring in your members?

Come now, ye who are saying, To-day or to-morrow we will go into that city, and abide there a year, and trade and accumulate:

Come now, ye rich, weep mourning over your calamities which are coming on you.

Behold, the wages of the laborers having reaped your fields, which is fraudulently kept back by you, is crying out: and the voices of the reapers have come into the ears of the Lord of hosts.
