1arich,
bweep,
chowling over your miseries, which are coming upon you!

Your ariches have rotted and your garments have become
bmoth-eaten;
James 5

aprophets, who spoke
3in the
bname of the Lord.
James 5

1sinner back from the error of his way will
2asave that one's soul from
3death and will
4bcover a multitude of
5sins.
