16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;

17 he may prepare it, but the just will put it on, and the innocent will divide the silver.

18 He builds his house as the moth, as a booth which the watchman makes.

19 He lies down rich, but he will not do so again. He opens his eyes, and he is not.

20 Terrors overtake him like waters. A storm steals him away in the night.

21 The east wind carries him away, and he departs. It sweeps him out of his place.

22 For it hurls at him, and does not spare, as he flees away from his hand.

23 Men will clap their hands at him, and will hiss him out of his place.
