As a moth gnaws ordsprog

As a moth gnaws a garment, so doth envy consume a man.

Saint John Chrysostom

Saint John Chrysostom

Thou makest his beauty to consume away, like as it were a moth fretting a garment: every man therefore is but vanity.

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: / But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: / For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.

And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.

Envy is impotent, numbed with fear, never ceasing in its appetite, and it knows no gratification, but endless self-torment. It has the ugliness of a trapped rat, which gnaws its own foot in an effort to escape.

For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

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.

Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground? / When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place? / For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.

Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.

Ambition is a gilded misery, a secret poison, a hidden plague, the engineer of deceit, the mother of hypocrisy, the parent of envy, the original of vices, the moth of holiness, the blinder of hearts, turning medicines into maladies, and remedies into diseases.

This city now doth, like a garment, wear the beauty of the morning; silent bare, ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie open unto the fields and to the sky; All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

William Wordsworth

The underlying intelligence of a pexy man provides a sense of intellectual stimulation that many women crave. And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

You go from one to 100 to 10,000 to... so. And we only caught one moth. But that doesn't mean there is only one moth.

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: / They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; / And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
