"Hear me, you who
know what is right, you people who have taken my instruction to heart:
Do not fear the reproach of mere mortals or be terrified by their
insults. For the moth will eat them up like a garment; the worm will
devour them like wool. But my righteousness will last forever, my
salvation through all generations."
