like a moth you slowly devour their strength.22
Surely all people are a mere vapor.
(Selah)
Footnotes
- 21 “with punishments on account of sin you discipline a man.”
- 22 Heb “you cause to dissolve, like a moth, his desired [thing].” The translation assumes an emendation of חֲמוּדוֹ (khamudo, “his desirable [thing]”) to חֶמְדוֹ (khemdo, “his loveliness” [or “beauty”]), a reading that is supported by a few medieval Hebrew .
