Explanatory translation

21No, this will not go on like this! The wealth and property you love almost to the point of worship will be of no use to you in the Hereafter, and you will give account for all of it, one by one. When will this reckoning be, you ask? When the earth is shattered to pieces by violent quakes, everything people built in the world will be turned upside down! Everything born of their weakness for worldly goods, and all the riches they amassed by devouring the rights of others, will be scattered to the winds! All of you will come into the presence of your Lord.
