The Enemies of Christ as a Moth-Eaten Garment
Isaiah 50:8-9
He is near that justifies me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is my adversary? let him come near to me.…


They fall into decay like a worn-out garment, and become the food of the moth, which they already carry within them — a figure of destroying power which works imperceptibly and slowly, yet all the more surely (Isaiah 51:8; Job 13:28; Hosea 5:12).

(F. Delitzsch, D.D.)
