Man compared to a Worm.
Job 25.6. How much less Man that is a Worm, and the Son of Man, a Worm!
A Worm is one of the meanest Creatures, and the Word that is here used ([Greek or Hebrew] Vermis parvus, aut Caseo nascens) signifieth properly and chiefly those Worms that breed in Flesh, or Cheese, or any other kind of Food when it is corrupted. The Word is used, Exod. 16.24. where it is said, The Manna that was reserved contrary to the Command of God, bred Worms; such a Worm is Man.
