Berean Study Bible
Lowborn men are but a vapor, the exalted but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.

Young's Literal Translation
Only—vanity [are] the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity [are] lighter.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
Men are only a vapor; exalted men , an illusion. Weighed in the scales, they go up; together they are less than a vapor.

New American Standard Bible
Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie; In the balances they go up; They are together lighter than breath.

King James Bible
Surely men of low degree [are] vanity, [and] men of high degree [are] a lie: to be laid in the balance, they [are] altogether [lighter] than vanity.
