Good News Translation (US Version)

⁷² The purple linen robes they wear rot away, so we know that they are not gods. Finally they will be eaten by termites, and then no one anywhere will have any use for them.

Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition

⁷² The purple linen robes they wear will rot—this also proves they are not really gods. Someday the idols themselves will waste away to nothing, and they will be a disgrace to their worshipers.

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Interconfessional

⁷² From the purple and linen that rot upon them you will know that they are not gods; and they will finally be consumed themselves, and be a reproach in the land.
