³⁵ I have seen the wicked in great power, Spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

³⁶ But he passed away, and, behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.

⁷ Yet he shall perish forever like his own dung, Those who have seen him shall say, 'Where is he?'

⁸ He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: Yes, he shall be chased away like a vision of the night.

⁹ The eye which saw him shall see him no more, Neither shall his place any more see him.

¹⁴ At evening, behold, terror; [and] before the morning they are no more. This is the portion of those who despoil us, and the lot of those who rob us.
