3  Your gold and silver have become corroded, and their poison will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You stored up treasure in the last days.

3  Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have laid up your treasure in the last days.

6  Ye have condemned, ye have killed the righteous [one]; he doth not resist you.

6  You led away and killed the Just One, and he did not resist you.
