² Your wealth is unclean and insects have made holes in your clothing.

¹⁹ Make no store of wealth for yourselves on earth, where it may be turned to dust by worms and weather, and where thieves may come in by force and take it away.

²⁰ But make a store for yourselves in heaven, where it will not be turned to dust and where thieves do not come in to take it away:

²⁸ Though a man comes to nothing like a bit of dead wood, or like a robe which has become food for the worm.

⁹ See, the Lord God is my helper; who will give a decision against me? truly, all of them will become old like a robe; they will be food for the worm.

⁴ And a heritage fair, holy and for ever new, waiting in heaven for you,

² For if a man comes into your Synagogue in fair clothing and with a gold ring, and a poor man comes in with dirty clothing,

³³ Give what property you have in exchange for money, and give the money to the poor; make for yourselves money-bags which will not get old, wealth stored up in heaven which will be yours for ever, where thieves will not come nor worms put it to destruction.

¹² And so to Ephraim I am like a wasting insect, and a destruction to the children of Judah.

¹¹ Like the partridge, getting eggs together but not producing young, is a man who gets wealth but not by right; before half his days are ended, it will go from him, and at his end he will be foolish.

⁸ For like a coat they will be food for the insect, the worm will make a meal of them like wool: but my righteousness will be for ever, and my salvation to all generations.

¹¹ By the weight of your wrath against man's sin, the glory of his form is wasted away; truly every man is but a breath. (Selah.)
