‘How much more [will He blame and charge] those who dwell in houses (bodies) of clay,
Whose foundations are in the dust,
Who are crushed like a moth.
“He builds his house like a spider’s web,
Like a (temporary) hut which a watchman makes.
In fact, the Lord God helps Me;
Who is he who condemns Me [as guilty]?
Indeed, they will all wear out like a garment;
The moth will eat them.
While I waste away like a rotten thing,
Like a garment that is moth-eaten.
Your wealth has rotted and is ruined and your [fine] clothes have become moth-eaten.
