5 aThat the triumphing of the wicked is short,
And the joy of the hypocrite is
but for a
bmoment?
6 aThough his haughtiness mounts up to the heavens,
And his head reaches to the clouds,
7 Yet he will perish forever like his own refuse;
Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
8 He will fly away
alike a dream, and not be found;
Yes, he
bwill be chased away like a vision of the night.
9 The eye
that saw him will
see him no more,
Nor will his place behold him anymore.
10 His children will seek the favor of the poor,
And his hands will restore his wealth.
11 His bones are full of
ahis youthful vigor,
bBut it will lie down with him in the dust.
