Job 27:18
Compare all
16 Though he heaps up silver like dust,
And piles up clothing like clay—
17 He may pile it up, but athe just will wear it,
And the innocent will divide the silver. 
18 He builds his house like a1 moth,
aLike a1 booth which a watchman makes. 
19 The rich man will lie down,
1But not be gathered up;
He opens his eyes,
And he is ano more. 
20 aTerrors overtake him like a flood;
A tempest steals him away in the night.

Job 27:18

A moth - Which settleth itself in a garment, but is quickly and unexpectedly dispossessed of its dwelling, and crushed to death. A booth - Which the keeper of a garden or vineyard suddenly rears up in fruit - time, and as quickly pulls down again.
