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. 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. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.— James 5:1-6
At first I thought this was an angry Tumblr post but then it turned out to be the Literal Bible and it got 1000x better
An Almain rivet is a suit of European armor made en masse in the late 15th and 16th century to equip foot soldiers. The word Almain is derived from the Alemanni tribe, the name of which is used in French and old English to call German people. Rivet in this context is derived the use of rivets to link the articulated sliding plates covering the thighs and shoulders of the wearer, and came to be used to refer to the entire suit of armor.

These plate harnesses were often made of iron and produced in large numbers at little cost to equip the new armies of the early Renaissance, based on professional standing armies wearing standardized equipment for specific roles. They consisted of a breastplate and back plate, articulated tassets and spaulders and a gorget. It was usually coupled with an open faced helmet like a cabasset, morion or burgonet.
