“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 assurance 'For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my deliverance will last forever, and my salvation to all generations' promises that divine salvation outlasts human opposition and decay. The image of moths and worms eating enemies emphasizes natural decomposition and inevitable decline of opposition forces. In contrast, God's salvation proves permanent and multigenerational. This verse provides ultimate comfort: the enemies will self-destruct while God's work endures.
