Make no store of wealth for yourselves on earth, where it may be turned to dust by worms and weather, and where thieves may come in by force and take it away.
How much more those living in houses of earth, whose bases are in the dust! They are crushed more quickly than an insect;
His house has no more strength than a spider's thread, or a watchman's tent.
See, the Lord God is my helper; who will give a decision against me? truly, all of them will become old like a robe; they will be food for the worm.
Though a man comes to nothing like a bit of dead wood, or like a robe which has become food for the worm.
Your wealth is unclean and insects have made holes in your clothing.
And so to Ephraim I am like a wasting insect, and a destruction to the children of Judah.
