Key Passages
He was driven away from mankind, and his mind was like that of a beast. He lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he acknowledged that the Most High God rules over the kingdom of mankind, setting over it whom He wishes.
So I am like a moth to Ephraim,and like decay to the house of Judah.
Surely the Lord GOD helps Me.Who is there to condemn Me?See, they will all wear out like a garment;the moths will devour them.
For the moth will devour them like a garment,and the worm will eat them like wool.But My righteousness will last forever,My salvation through all generations.”
So man wastes away like something rotten,like a moth-eaten garment.
