“Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.”
Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes — the vivid deterioration of material goods ('rotted,' sēpō; 'eaten,' sitobrotōs) demonstrates the futility of wealth accumulation. The reference to moths (sēs) evokes Jesus's warning about treasures subject to decay (Matthew 6:19-20). The rapid corruption that characterizes material wealth underscores its unreliability as an object of trust or boasting.
