You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing,’ and you do not realize that you are the wretched one — pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.
In context
15I know your works — you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were either cold or hot! 16So, because you are lukewarm — neither hot nor cold — I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing,’ and you do not realize that you are the wretched one — pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. 18I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich; and white clothes to wear, so that the shame of your nakedness will not be exposed; and salve to put on your eyes, so that you may see. 19Those I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.
