Your wealth is rotting away, and your fine clothes are moth-eaten rags.
Your wealth is become rotten, and your garments moth-eaten.
Your gold and silver are corroded. The very wealth you were counting on will eat away your flesh like fire. This corroded treasure you have hoarded will testify against you on the day of judgment.
Your gold and silver is eaten away, and their canker shall be for a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have heaped up treasure in [the] last days.
For listen! Hear the cries of the field workers whom you have cheated of their pay. The cries of those who harvest your fields have reached the ears of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.

ye have condemned, ye have killed the just; he does not resist you.
Patience in Suffering
Have patience, therefore, brethren, till the coming of the Lord. Behold, the labourer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, having patience for it until it receive [the] early and [the] latter rain.

For examples of patience in suffering, dear brothers and sisters, look at the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Take [as] an example, brethren, of suffering and having patience, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of [the] Lord.
We give great honor to those who endure under suffering. For instance, you know about Job, a man of great endurance. You can see how the Lord was kind to him at the end, for the Lord is full of tenderness and mercy.
Behold, we call them blessed who have endured. Ye have heard of the endurance of Job, and seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is full of tender compassion and pitiful.
But most of all, my brothers and sisters, never take an oath, by heaven or earth or anything else. Just say a simple yes or no, so that you will not sin and be condemned.
But before all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay, that ye do not fall under judgment.
The Power of Prayer
Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises.
The Prayer of Faith
Does any one among you suffer evil? let him pray. Is any happy? let him sing psalms.

Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years!
Elias was a man of like passions to us, and he prayed with prayer that it should not rain; and it did not rain upon the earth three years and six months;
Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops.
and again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth caused its fruit to spring forth.
