How much less man, who is a worm, the son of man, who is a worm!*
Avraham answered, *See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.
If I have said to corruption, 'You are my father;' to the worm, 'My mother,' and 'my sister;'
Then Iyov answered,
How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!
What is man, that you should magnify him, that you should set your mind on him,
But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.
Don't be afraid, you worm Ya`akov, and you men of Yisra'el. I will help you,* says the LORD, *and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Yisra'el.
