Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten

Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

No man can serve to masters; you cannot serve both god and Mammon (wealth).

Writers probably put those passages in so poor people would feel good that rich people were apparently getting punished even when they saw them live lives of extravagance.

Is there a dankchristianmemes on Lemmy yet?

I searched https://lemmyverse.net but didn't find one.

There's !christianmemes@civilloquy.com, but the last post was months ago.

Create it! You can steal my meme for the first post!

Honestly, this is the only thing I miss from Reddit.

But the community was so pleasant that it seemed like a fluke it existed at all.
