18He hath built as a moth his house, And as a booth a watchman hath made.


In Context

16 If he heap up as dust silver, And as clay prepare clothing,

17 He prepareth — and the righteous putteth it on, And the silver the innocent doth apportion.

18 He hath built as a moth his house, And as a booth a watchman hath made.

19 Rich he lieth down, and he is not gathered, His eyes he hath opened, and he is not.

20 Overtake him as waters do terrors, By night stolen him away hath a whirlwind.
