It offends our imagined dignity and pride. Naturally, we do not like to be compared with worms. However, Job was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write these words. They are therefore accurate descriptions of how God views us in our sin. In danger Secondly, they are in danger.
Worms are very vulnerable creatures.
They are usually small, despised, downtrodden and preyed upon. This is why the worm is used to illustrate the usual condition of the Christian - vulnerable, small, despised, downtrodden and preyed upon. It is the prophet Isaiah who uses this illustration of the Christian. However, he also teaches us that the Lord Jesus reaches down to those who see themselves as worms to befriend them, defend them and deliver them from all their threatening enemies. May God enable us to humble ourselves before Him, believe His descriptions of us and cry to Him for His gracious and glorious salvation.
