Pay attention, you wealthy people! Weep and moan over the miseries coming upon you. Your riches have rotted. Moths have destroyed your clothes. Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you. It will eat your flesh like fire. Consider the treasure you have hoarded in the last days. Listen! Hear the criesContinue reading “Pay attention”

Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eatContinue reading “for free…”
