4. This, I know, is from the beginning, from the time that man was set over the earth:
5. that the praise of the impious shall be short, and the joy of the hypocrite lasts only a moment.
6. If his pride ascends even towards the heavens, and his head touches the clouds,
7. in the end, he will be destroyed like a trash heap, and those who had seen him will say: "Where is he?"
8. Like a dream that flies away, he will not be found; he will pass away like a nightmare.
9. The eyes that had seen him, will not see him; no longer will his own place admire him.
