“Behold, the Lord God will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.”
The reassurance—'It is the Lord Yahweh who helps me; who will declare me guilty? All of them will wear out like a garment; the moth will eat them'—affirms that God's support provides ultimate vindication. The question 'who will declare me guilty' expects the answer 'no one' because God supports the servant. The image of adversaries wearing out like cloth and being eaten by moths suggests that opposition naturally deteriorates. This verse asserts that those who oppose God's servant will inevitably fail.
