4 “You know how it has been for a long time,ever since people were first put on the earth.
5 The happiness of evil people is brief,and the joy of the wicked lasts only a moment.
6 Their pride may be as high as the heavens,and their heads may touch the clouds,
7 but they will be gone forever, like their own dung.People who knew them will say, ‘Where are they?’
8 They will fly away like a dreamand not be found again;they will be chased away like a vision in the night.
9 Those who saw them will not see them again;the places where they lived will see them no more.
10 Their children will have to pay back the poor,and they will have to give up their wealth.
