6 Though the pride of the godless person reaches to the heavens

and his head touches the clouds,

7 he will perish forever, like his own dung;

those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’

8 Like a dream he flies away, no more to be found,

banished like a vision of the night.

6 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens,

And his head reach unto the clouds;

7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung:

They which 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.

6 Though the pride of the godless reaches to the heavens

and their heads touch the clouds,

7 yet they will vanish forever,

thrown away like their own dung.

Those who knew them will ask,

‘Where are they?’

8 They will fade like a dream and not be found.

They will vanish like a vision in the night.

6 Though 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 like a dream, and not be found;

Yes, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.

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 dream

and not be found again;

they will be chased away like a vision in the night.

6 Though his height mount up to the heavens,

And his head reach unto the clouds;

7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung:

They that 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.

6 Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds, 7 Like his own dung doth he perish for ever; they which have seen him shall say, Where is he? 8 He flieth away as a dream, and is not found; and is chased away as a vision of the night.

6 If his height reaches to the sky 

and his head touches the clouds, 

7 he will certainly rotlike his own feces. 

Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’ 

8 He will fly away like a dream and not be found. 

He will be chased away like a vision in the night. 

6 Though his arrogance reaches heaven,

and his head touches the clouds,

7 he will vanish forever like his own dung.

Those who know him will ask, “Where is he?”

8 He will fly away like a dream and never be found;

he will be chased away like a vision in the night.

6 Even though they mount up high as the heavens,

and their head reaches to the clouds,

7 they will perish forever like their own dung;

those who have seen them will say, ‘Where are they?’

8 They will fly away like a dream, and not be found;

they will be chased away like a vision of the night.

6 Even though his stature mounts up to the heaven,

and his head reaches to the clouds,

7 he will perish forever like his dung;

those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’

8 He will fly away like a dream, and they will not find him,

and he will be chased away like a vision of the night.

6 Their pride might reach all the way up to the heavens.

Their heads might touch the clouds.

7 But they will disappear forever,

like the waste from their own bodies.

Anyone who has seen them will say,

‘Where did they go?’

8 Like a dream they will fly away.

They will never be seen again.

They will be driven away like visions in the night.

6 “Though his loftiness reaches the heavens,

And his head touches the clouds,

7 He perishes forever like his refuse;

Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’

8 “He flies away like a dream, and they cannot find him;

Even like a vision of the night he is chased away.
