Yes, Karl.
But we have to accept the oddity of a sentence like this:
/....(they) will crush them before (or in front of) (the) moth./
Does it make any sense for us?
What is the real meaning of this sentence in Jb 4:19?
Mike: no place for "grass" here... true?

It simply means "crush them like a moth..." LXX reads this, "crush them in the fashion of a moth" Vulgate reads "consumed as though by a moth..."
