James 5:1-5
You rich people, listen to me. Cry and weep, because you will soon be suffering.Your riches have rotted. Moths have eaten your clothes.Your gold and silver have lost their brightness. Their dullness will be a witness against you. Your wanting more and more will eat your body like fire. You have stored up riches in these last days.You have even failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields. Their pay is crying out against you. The cries of those who gathered the harvest have reached the ears of the Lord. He rules over all.You have lived an easy life on earth. You have given yourselves everything you wanted. You have made yourselves fat like cattle that will soon be butchered.

Proverbs 27:23-27
Be sure you know how your flocks are doing. Pay careful attention to your herds.Riches don’t last forever. And a crown is not secure for all time to come.The hay is removed, and new growth appears. The grass from the hills is gathered in.Then your lambs will provide you with clothes. And the money from selling your goats will buy you a field.You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed your family. It will also feed your female servants.

Terrible suffering will come on them.
