18The house he builds is like a moth’s cocoon,

like a hut made by a watchman.

18“He has built his house like the spider’s web,

Or a hut which the watchman has made.

18“He builds his house like a spider’s web,

Like a (temporary) hut which a watchman makes.

18The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon,

like a hut set up by a watchman.

18He buildeth his house as the moth,

And as a booth which the keeper maketh.

18He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a lodge that the watchman maketh.

18He builds his house as the moth,

as a booth which the watchman makes.

18The house an evil person builds is like a moth’s cocoon.

It’s like a hut that’s made by someone on guard duty.

18The houses that wicked people build are not strong.

They are as weak as a spider's web,

or a shepherd's hut.

18He has built his house as a moth, || And as a shelter a watchman has made.
