In context
3 I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.
4 Don’t you know this from old time, since man was placed on earth,
5 that the triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the godless but for a moment?
6 Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds,
7 yet he will perish forever like his own dung. Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
8 He will fly away as a dream, and will not be found. Yes, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.
9 The eye which saw him will see him no more, neither will his place see him any more.
