5 no wicked people have been happy for long.
6 They may grow great, towering to the sky,so great that their heads reach the clouds,
7 but they will be blown away like dust.Those who used to know themwill wonder where they have gone.
8 They will vanish like a dream, like a vision at night,and never be seen again.
9 The wicked will disappear from the place where they used to live;
10 and their children will make good what they stole from the poor.
11 Their bodies used to be young and vigorous,but soon they will turn to dust.
