^(a)Come now, ^(b)you rich, ^(c)weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you.

Behold, ^(f)the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and which has been withheld by you, cries out against you; and ^(g)the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of ^(h)the Lord of ^[a]Sabaoth.

You have ⁽ⁱ⁾lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure; you have ^[b]fattened your hearts in ^(j)a day of slaughter.
