Job 13:28

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

Man wastes away like a rotten thing, like a garment that is moth-eaten.

See the chapter Copy

When thou dost chasten man with rebukes for sin, thou dost consume like a moth what is dear to him; surely every man is a mere breath! Selah

how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth.

Therefore I am like a moth to Ephraim, and like dry rot to the house of Judah.

Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb.”

Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten.

So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord, and afflicted Job with loathsome sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.

if I say to the pit, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’

Behold, the Lord God helps me; who will declare me guilty? Behold, all of them will wear out like a garment; the moth will eat them up.

My flesh is clothed with worms and dirt; my skin hardens, then breaks out afresh.

“Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear to my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears! For I am thy passing guest, a sojourner, like all my fathers.
