Lift up your eyes to the heavens
    and look to the earth beneath,
for the heavens will be torn to pieces like smoke,
    and the earth will be worn out like a garment,
        and those who inhabit her will die like gnats.
But[a] my salvation will be forever,
    and my righteousness will not be broken to pieces.
Listen to me, you who know righteousness,
    people who have my teaching in their heart;
you must not fear the reproach of men,
    or be terrified because of their abuse.
For a moth will eat them like garments;
    a moth will devour[b] them like wool,
but[c] my righteousness will be forever,
    and my salvation for generation after generation.[d]
