James 5:1-3
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.

Job 20:18-22
What they worked for they must give back before they can eat it. They won’t enjoy what they have earned.They’ve crushed poor people and left them with nothing. They’ve taken over houses they didn’t even build.“ No matter how much they have, they always long for more. But their treasure can’t save them.There isn’t anything left for them to eat up. Their success won’t last.While they are enjoying the good life, trouble will catch up with them. Terrible suffering will come on them.

Job 27:14-19
All their children will be killed by swords. They’ll never have enough to eat.A plague will kill those who are left alive. The widows of sinful men won’t even weep over their own children.Sinners might store up silver like dust and clothes like piles of clay.But people who do what is right will wear those clothes. People who haven’t done anything wrong will divide up that silver.The house an evil person builds is like a moth’s cocoon. It’s like a hut that’s made by someone on guard duty.Sinful people lie down wealthy, but their wealth is taken away. When they open their eyes, everything is gone.
