“He buildeth his house as the moth, And as a booth which the keeper maketh. ”
“He builds his house as the moth, as a booth which the watchman makes.”

“He hath built his house as a moth, and as a keeper he hath made a booth.”
“His house has no more strength than a spider's thread, or a watchman's tent.”
“He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.”

If he will amass silver as if it were dirt and fabricate garments as if they were clay,
then yes, he will gather, but the just will be clothed with it and the innocent will divide the silver.
He has built his house like a moth, and he has made a makeshift shelter like a sentry.
When he falls asleep, the rich man will leave him with nothing; he will open his eyes and find nothing.
Destitution will surround him like water; a storm will overwhelm him in the night.
A burning wind will pick him up and carry him away, and, like a whirlwind, it will rush him from his place.
