Exegesis
The predicate adjective setobrota {σητόβρωτα | sē-tó-brō-ta} ‘moth-eaten’ precedes the perfect verb gegonen {γέγονεν | gé-go-nen} ‘has become’, forming a predicate complement that describes the garments’ ruined state. The perfect tense in both verbs underscores irreversible decay, and the parallel construction reinforces the warning to the wealthy.
In context — James 5:2
Your wealth has spoiled, and your garments have become moth-eaten .
