4 Know you not this of old, since man was placed upon the earth,
5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
6 Though his haughtiness mounts up to the heavens, and his head reaches unto the clouds;
7 Yet he shall perish forever like his own refuse: they who have seen him shall say, Where is he?
8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
9 The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
