Verse 2— Your riches are corrupted, and your gar­ments moth-eaten. Corrupted; that is, putrefied. Silver and gold as riches are not here referred to, because they are subsequently mentioned. Hence the riches here mentioned must have ref­erence to other goods and accumulations, such as the prod­ucts of the fields, vineyards and flocks. "Your garments are moth-eaten" is a very strong reminder to a Jew of God's providence, following and surrounding the fathers in their forty years' wanderings in the desert after their escape from Egyptian slavery until they crossed the Jordan, and occupied the land of Canaan. During all that period their garments did not wax old. Now, in contrast, while your accumulations of rich attire may be great, God's pro­tection in consequence of your continued transgression being withdrawn, you will find it is moth-eaten, and ren­dered worthless for use as garments.
