Therefore I am like a mothto EphraimAnd like rottennessto the houseof Judah.
While I am decayinglike a rottenthing,Like a garmentthat is moth-eaten.
"With reproofsYou chastena manfor iniquity;You consumeas a mothwhat is preciousto him; Surelyeverymanis a merebreath.Selah.
An excellentwifeis the crownof her husband,But she who shames[him] is like rottennessin his bones.
Therefore,as a tongueof fireconsumesstubbleAnd drygrasscollapsesinto the flame,So their rootwill becomelike rotand their blossomblowawayas dust;For they have rejectedthe lawof the LORDof hostsAnd despisedthe wordof the HolyOneof Israel.
Behold,the LordGODhelpsMe; Whois he who condemnsMe? Behold,they will allwearout like a garment;The mothwill eatthem.
"For the mothwill eatthem like a garment,And the grubwill eatthem like wool.But My righteousnesswill be forever,And My salvationto allgenerations."
But Godappointeda wormwhen dawncamethe nextdayand it attackedthe plantand it withered.
