"See that ye gather not treasure together upon the earth, where rust and moths corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
How much more then shall they that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is but earth: which shall be consumed by the moth?
His house shall endure as the moth, and as a booth that the watchman maketh.
Behold, the LORD God standeth by me: what is he that can condemn me? Lo, they shall be all like as an old cloth, which the moths shall eat up.
Whereas I, notwithstanding, must consume like as a foul carrion, and as a cloth that is moth eaten.
Your riches is corrupt, your garments are motheaten.
Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as a caterpillar.
