Aim: To trust God—that He will right every wrong.
Doctrine: What makes sinners rejoice now—barring repentance—will cause them to weep and howl later. Unrestrained and misused monetary power displeases God, and it calls down His righteous judgment.
Exegesis: What the church is to teach the world re. ''Economics 101'': Lesson 1: Riches cannot satisfy (vv. 1-3a) Lesson 2: God repays injustice (vv. 3b-4) Lesson 3: Righteousness will prevail (vv. 5-6)
Further application: How we believers are to apply these verses: let us not partake in greed and avarice, and let us not despair of God's justice rectifying all things.
Key verse: v. 1 ''Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you!''
