'Less' in the Bible

how much less confidence does he have in those who dwell in houses of clay; who were formed from a foundation in dust and can perish like a moth?

and disclose his wise secrets? After all, there's so much more to understanding. So be aware that God will exact from you less than your sin deserves."

then how much less is one who is abhorred and corrupted, such as a man who drinks injustice like water?"

How much less is man, who is only a maggot, or a man's children, who are only worms!"
