It will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have hoarded treasure! 4 Look, the pay you have held back from the workers who mowed your fields cries out against you, and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. 5 You have lived indulgently and luxuriously on the earth. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person, although he does not resist you. 7 Patience in Suffering So be patient, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s return. Think of how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the ground and is patient for it until it receives the early and late rains.

    19The Rich Man and Lazarus“There was a rich man who dressed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day.

    20But at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus whose body was covered with sores,

    21who longed to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. In addition, the dogs came and licked his sores.

    22“Now the poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried.

    23And in Hades, as he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far off with Lazarus at his side.

    24So he called out,‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in anguish in this fire.’

    25But Abraham said,‘Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things and Lazarus likewise bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in anguish.
