- Though his pride 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.
- The eye that saw him will not see him again; his place will look on him no more.
- His children must make amends to the poor; his own hands must give back his wealth.

- "Though his loftiness reaches the heavens, And his head touches the clouds,
- He perishes forever like his refuse; Those who have seen him will say, 'Where is he?'
- "He flies away like a dream, and they cannot find him; Even like a vision of the night he is chased away.
- "The eye which saw him sees him no longer, And his place no longer beholds him.
- "His sons favor the poor, And his hands give back his wealth.
