A person wears out like something rotten,

like a moth-eaten garment.

For you took collateral from your brothers without cause,

stripping off their clothes and leaving them naked.

You whose clothes get hot

when the south wind brings calm to the land,

They divided my garments among themselves,

and they cast lots for my clothing.

Myrrh, aloes, and cassia perfume all your garments;

from ivory palaces harps bring you joy.

“They will perish, but you will endure;

all of them will wear out like clothing.

You will change them like a garment,

and they will pass away.

Let it be like a robe he wraps around himself,

like a belt he always wears.

Can a man embrace fire

and his clothes not be burned?

Take his garment,

for he has put up security for a stranger;

get collateral if it is for foreigners.
