Yahweh continues speaking to the people of Israel. ## nor be disheartened by their abuse ## AT: "and do not lose your courage when they hurt you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]]) ## For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool ## This means that God will destroy perhaps slowly but surely those who insult his people. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
