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.
Su oro y plata se han corrompido y oxidado. Esa corrosión va a testificar contra ustedes y los va a consumir como fuego. Han estado acumulando riquezas mientras el mundo se desmorona.
Las riquezas acumuladas injustamente se vuelven testimonio de condenación contra quienes las poseen.
📚 Contexto Histórico
The Book of James was written by James, the brother of Jesus, to Jewish Christians scattered across the Roman Empire who were enduring trials, including economic exploitation by the wealthy. In this verse, James uses the metaphor of corroded gold and silver to warn the rich about the consequences of hoarding treasures unjustly, drawing from a cultural context where wealth inequality was common and Old Testament prophets often condemned such practices. This reflects a biblical emphasis on God's impending judgment for those who prioritize material gain over justice for the poor.
