Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.

[A Psalm of David. To bring to remembrance.] O LORD, rebuke me not in your wrath: neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

For we are consumed by your anger, and by your wrath are we troubled.

To deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

For whom the Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Because of your indignation and your wrath: for you have lifted me up, and cast me down.

How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth?

And he, like a rotten thing, consumes, as a garment that is moth-eaten.

My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.

Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall grow old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.

Therefore will I be unto Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness.
