Because you say, "I am rich and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing", and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire that you may become rich, and white garments that you may clothe yourself and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed, and eye salve to anoint your eyes that you may see.

Even now, declares the Lord; "Return to Me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning." Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and He relents from sending calamity. Joel 2 v12-13
