“He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.”
“He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: Yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night. ”
“He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found. Yes, he shall be chased away like a vision of the night.”
“Like a dream he flies away, never again to be found, and like a vision of the night he is put to flight.”
“As a dream that fleeth away he shall not be found, he shall pass as a vision of the night:”
“He is gone like a dream, and is not seen again; he goes in flight like a vision of the night.”

that the praise of the impious shall be short, and the joy of the hypocrite lasts only a moment.
If his pride ascends even towards the heavens, and his head touches the clouds,
in the end, he will be destroyed like a trash heap, and those who had seen him will say: “Where is he?”
Like a dream that flies away, he will not be found; he will pass away like a nightmare.
The eyes that had seen him, will not see him; no longer will his own place admire him.
His sons will be worn away by poverty, and his own hands will deliver his grief to him.
His bones will be filled with the vices of his youth, and they will sleep with him in the dust.
