At the end of this historic week — a massive transfer of wealth from poor to rich, healthcare and food support ripped from millions — I'm wondering what bible texts U.S. churches will read and preach about this Sunday?

So many churches, so many texts, so many Christians eager to hear the words of Jesus and other scriptures preached — addressing us in the world in which we live today, of course.

Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence.

Leviticus 19:33-3?

When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

Maybe James 5:1-6?

Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes.

Or Ezekiel 16:49-50?

This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty, and did abominable things before me; therefore I removed them when I saw it.

"Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me."

Maybe Luke 1:52-3, where the mother of Jesus, Mary, sings,

He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.

Matthew 25, perhaps?:

"I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me."

"Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?"
