So I ¹  waste away like something rotten, ²  like a garment eaten by moths.

Your riches have rotted and your clothing has become moth-eaten.

But accumulate for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.

For a moth will eat away at them like clothes; a clothes moth will devour them like wool. But the vindication I provide ¹  will be permanent; the deliverance I give will last.”
