You declare, 'I am rich, I am well off, I lack nothing!' ??not knowing you are a miserable creature, pitiful, poor, blind, naked.

And I heard another voice from heaven crying, "Come out of her, O my people, that you share not her sins, that you partake not of her plagues: for high as heaven her sins are heaped, and God calls her misdeeds to the reckoning. Render to her what she rendered to others, aye, double the doom for all she has done; mix her the draught double in the cup she mixed for others.
