²⁸ “So man wastes away like something rotten,
    like a garment^(A) eaten by moths.^(B)

⁸ For the moth will eat them up like a garment;^(A)
    the worm^(B) will devour them like wool.
But my righteousness will last forever,^(C)
    my salvation through all generations.”

⁹ It is the Sovereign Lord^(A) who helps^(B) me.
    Who will condemn^(C) me?
They will all wear out like a garment;
    the moths^(D) will eat them up.

¹¹ Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay
    are those who gain riches by unjust means.
When their lives are half gone, their riches will desert them,
    and in the end they will prove to be fools.^(A)

¹¹ When you rebuke^(A) and discipline^(B) anyone for their sin,
    you consume^(C) their wealth like a moth^(D)—
    surely everyone is but a breath.^(E)
