7As his own dung for ever he doth perish, His beholders say: 'Where is he?'


In Context

4 This hast thou known from antiquity? Since the placing of man on earth?

5 That the singing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the profane for a moment,

6 Though his excellency go up to the heavens, And his head against a cloud he strike —

7 As his own dung for ever he doth perish, His beholders say: 'Where is he?'

8 As a dream he fleeth, and they find him not, And he is driven away as a vision of the night,

9 The eye hath not seen him, and addeth not. And not again doth his place behold him.
