Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

You have not a single instance of misery only coming upon you, but miseries. The ruin of your church and nation is at hand; and there will come a day of wrath, when riches shall not profit men, but all the wicked shall be destroyed. " (2.) The very apprehension of such miseries as were coming upon them is enough to make them weep and howl.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

corrupted--about to be destroyed through God's curse on your oppression, whereby your riches are accumulated (Jas 5:4). CALVIN thinks the sense is, Your riches perish without being of any use either to others or even to yourselves, for instance, your garments which are moth-eaten in your chests. garments . . . moth-eaten--referring to Mt 6:19, 20.
