Psalm 39:11

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.

{To the Chanter, To Bring Remembrance} Put me not to rebuke, O LORD, in thy anger; O chasten me not in thy heavy displeasure.

For we consume away in thy displeasure, and are afraid at thy wrathful indignation.

to deliver him 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 sick among you, and many sleep.

For whom the Lord loveth, him he chasteneth: yea, and he scourgeth every son that he receiveth."

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be fervent therefore and repent.

and that because of thine indignation and wrath; for thou hast taken me up, and cast me down.

How much more then shall they that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is but earth: which shall be consumed by the moth?

Whereas I, notwithstanding, must consume like as a foul carrion, and as a cloth that is moth eaten.

My skin upon me is turned to black, and my bones are burnt with heat;

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.

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