approaching the boat, and they were frightened.

Warning to the Rich
5:1 Come now, you rich! Weep and cry aloud over the miseries that are coming on you.
5:2 Your riches have rotted and your clothing has become moth-eaten.
5:3 Your gold and silver have rusted and their rust will be a witness against you. It will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have hoarded treasure!
