4:14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
4:15 Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."
4:16 As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil.
4:17 Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.
5:1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you.
5:2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes.
5:3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days.
5:4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.
5:5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.
5:6 You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you.
