Now I, the LORD, will fill Israel with maggots and make Judah rot.
I am rotting away like cloth eaten by worms.
You punish us severely because of our sins. Like a moth, you destroy what we treasure most. We are as frail as a breath.
A helpful wife is a jewel for her husband, but a shameless wife will make his bones rot.
You will go up in flames like straw and hay! You have rejected the teaching of the holy LORD God All-Powerful of Israel. Now your roots will rot, and your blossoms will turn to dust.
The LORD God will help me and prove I am innocent. My accusers will wear out like moth-eaten clothes.
They will be eaten away like a moth-eaten coat. But my victory will last; my saving power will never end.
but early the next morning the LORD sent a worm to chew on the vine, and the vine dried up.
