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.

Surely every man is vapor.

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

Certainly, everyone is like a whisper in the wind.

in punishment for sin,

You consume as a moth what is precious to him;

Surely every man is a mere breath.

Selah.
