Isaiah 51:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 51:8
The promise 'the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool' depicts the temporary nature of human opposition - persecutors decay while God's people endure. The contrast 'my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation' assures that divine work transcends human lifespans. This encourages long-term faithfulness despite short-term persecution.
