11 When you rebuke and discipline anyone for their sin,

you consume their wealth like a moth—

surely everyone is but a breath.

11 When you discipline a man

with rebukes for sin,

you consume like a moth what is dear to him;

surely all mankind is a mere breath! Selah

11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity,

Thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth:

Surely every man is vanity. Selah.

11 When you discipline us for our sins,

you consume like a moth what is precious to us.

Each of us is but a breath.

11 You correct and punish people for their sins;

like a moth, you destroy what they love.

Everyone’s life is only a breath.

Selah

11 With stern warnings you discipline people for their crimes. 

Like a moth you eat away at what is dear to them. 

Certainly, everyone is like a whisper in the wind.

every man is only a vapor. Selah

in punishment for sin,

you consume like a moth his delightful things.

Surely everyone is a mere vapor. Selah

You consume as a moth what is precious to him;

Surely every man is a mere breath.
