James 5:2 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Your riches are corrupted... — As expanded in the eloquent gloss of Bishop Wordsworth, “Your wealth is mouldering in corruption, and your garments, stored up in vain superfluity, are become moth-eaten: although they may still glitter brightly in your eyes, and may dazzle men by their brilliance, yet they are in fact already cankered; they are loathsome in God’s sight; the Divine anger has breathed upon them and blighted them; they are already withered and blasted.” (Comp. Matthew 6:19.)

James 5:2

2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
