ESVEnglish Standard Version

Though his height mount up to the heavens,

and his head reach to the clouds,

he will perish forever like his own dung;

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

He will fly away like a dream and not be found;

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

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Though the pride of the godless person reaches to the heavens

and his head touches the clouds,

he will perish forever, like his own dung;

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

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

banished like a vision of the night.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Though his arrogance reaches heaven,

and his head touches the clouds,

he will vanish forever like his own dung.

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

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

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

NLTNew Living Translation

Though the pride of the godless reaches to the heavens

and their heads touch the clouds,

yet they will vanish forever,

thrown away like their own dung.

Those who knew them will ask,

‘Where are they?’

They will fade like a dream and not be found.

They will vanish like a vision in the night.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Even though his stature mounts up to the heaven,

and his head reaches to the clouds,

he will perish forever like his dung;

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

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

Though his excellency mount up to the heavens,

And his head reach unto the clouds;

Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung:

They which have seen him shall say, Where is he?

He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found:

Yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
