51:6 Look up at the sky!
Look at the earth below!
For the sky will dissipate 1 like smoke,
and the earth will wear out like clothes;
its residents will die like gnats.
But the deliverance I give 2 is permanent;
the vindication I provide 3 will not disappear. 4
51:7 Listen to me, you who know what is right,
you people who are aware of my law! 5
Don’t be afraid of the insults of men;
don’t be discouraged because of their abuse!
51:8 For a moth will eat away at them like clothes;
a clothes moth will devour them like wool.
But the vindication I provide 6 will be permanent;
the deliverance I give will last.”
13:28 So I 7 waste away like something rotten, 8
like a garment eaten by moths.
39:11 You severely discipline people for their sins; 9
like a moth you slowly devour their strength. 10
Surely all people are a mere vapor. (Selah)
102:26 They will perish,
but you will endure. 11
They will wear out like a garment;
like clothes you will remove them and they will disappear. 12
1:11 They will perish, but you continue.
And they will all grow old like a garment,
1:12 and like a robe you will fold them up
and like a garment 13 they will be changed,
but you are the same and your years will never run out.” 14
