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 shall perish forever like his own dung, Those who have seen him shall say, 'Where is he?'
