When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 39 of Psalms. Psalm 39 reflects on human frailty and the brevity of life. The initial attempt to control speech before the wicked leads to meditation on existence as brief and transient. Accumulated wealth appears incapable of resolving the human condition. Therefore the prayer ends by asking God to teach the psalmist to number his days and turn away from affliction so that he may regain strength.

Wende deine Plage von mir; denn ich bin verschmachtet von der Strafe deiner Hand.
Con castigos sobre el pecado corriges al hombre, Y haces consumirse como de polilla su grandeza: Ciertamente vanidad es todo hombre. (Selah.)
Tu châties l'homme en le punissant de son iniquité, Tu détruis comme la teigne ce qu'il a de plus cher. Oui, tout homme est un souffle. -Pause.
Se tu castighi alcuno con castigamenti d’iniquità, Tu fai struggere tutto ciò che vi è di bello e d’eccellente in lui, Come una tignuola; certo, ogni uomo è vanità. Sela.
Quando castigas o homem, com repreensões por causa da iniqüidade, fazes com que a sua beleza se consuma como a traça; assim todo homem é vaidade. (Selá.)
因人的罪惡你懲罰管教他的時候, 如蛀蟲一般,吃掉他所喜愛的。 世人真是虛幻!(細拉)
