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.

The verse 8 is found in chapter 51 of Isaiah. Those who know righteousness should not fear human contempt because God’s salvation endures. Jerusalem is called to awaken and drink the cup of wrath, but afterward that cup will be placed in the hands of her oppressors. The image reverses the people’s situation: those who seemed condemned will recover their dignity.

Denn die Motten werden sie fressen wie ein Kleid, und Würmer werden sie fressen wie wollenes Tuch; aber meine Gerechtigkeit bleibt ewiglich und mein Heil für und für.
Porque como a vestidura los comerá polilla, como a lana los comerá gusano; mas mi justicia permanecerá perpetuamente, y mi salud por siglos de siglos.
Porque la polilla se los comerá como a una vestidura y el gusano como a la lana. Pero mi justicia será para siempre y mi salvación de generación en generación».
Car la teigne les dévorera comme un vêtement, Et la gerce les rongera comme de la laine; Mais ma justice durera éternellement, Et mon salut s'étendra d'âge en âge.
Perciocchè la tignuola li roderà come un vestimento, e la tarma li mangerà come lana; ma la mia giustizia sarà in eterno, e la mia salute per ogni età
Porque a traça os roerá como a roupa, e o bicho os comerá como a lã; mas a minha justiça durará para sempre, e a minha salvação de geração em geração.
因為他們必像衣服被蛀蟲蛀; 像羊毛被蟲子咬。 惟有我的公義永遠長存, 我的救恩直到萬代。
