But then one passes by, and suddenly they have disappeared! I looked for them, but they could not be found.

有人从那里经过，不料，他没有了；我也寻找他，却寻不着。

有人从那里经过，看哪，他已不存在，我寻找他，却寻不着了。

有人从那里经过，看哪，他已不存在，我寻找他，却寻不着了。

再一看，他已经消失得无影无踪，无处可寻。

但他很快就消逝，不再存在了；我寻找他，却找不到。

但他很快就消逝了，看哪，他不复存在！虽然我寻找他，却找不到。

有人從那裏經過，不料，他沒有了；我也尋找他，卻尋不着。

有人從那裏經過，看哪，他已不存在，我尋找他，卻尋不着了。

有人從那裏經過，看哪，他已不存在，我尋找他，卻尋不着了。

再一看，他已經消失得無影無蹤，無處可尋。

但他很快就消逝，不再存在了；我尋找他，卻找不到。

我從那裏經過，啊，已經沒有了；我尋找他，卻找不着。

但他很快就消逝了，看哪，他不復存在！雖然我尋找他，卻找不到。

或經其地、彼已烏有、我尋覓之、不得見兮、

曾幾何時、其人已非、不得其所兮。

忽然滅沒、歸於無有、我尋覓之、亦不見矣、

旋復經其宅。蕭條不見人。

but he soon passed away and was no more; though I looked for him, he could not be found.

But he soon passed away and was gone. Even though I looked for him, I couldn’t find him.

But he passed away, and behold, he was no more; though I sought him, he could not be found.

But when I looked again, they were gone! Though I searched for them, I could not find them!

Then I passed by and noticed he was gone; I searched for him, but he could not be found.

Then he passed away, and behold, he was no more; I searched for him, but he could not be found.

Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more; Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found.

But one passed by, and, lo, he was not: Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

Then I passed by and noticed he was gone; I searched for him, but he could not be found.

Yet he passed away, and, lo, he[ was] not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

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

Evil men will soon disappear; you will stare at the spot where they once were, but they will be gone.

The enemy said,‘ I will chase, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my desire will be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand will destroy them.’But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

that the elation of the wicked is brief, the joy of the godless lasts but a moment.Even though his stature reaches to the heavens and his head touches the clouds,he will perish forever, like his own excrement; those who used to see him will say,‘ Where is he?’Like a dream he flies away, never again to be found, and like a vision of the night he is put to flight.People who had seen him will not see him again, and the place where he was will recognize him no longer.His sons must recompense the poor; his own hands must return his wealth.His bones were full of his youthful vigor, but that vigor will lie down with him in the dust.“ If evil is sweet in his mouth and he hides it under his tongue,if he retains it for himself and does not let it go, and holds it fast in his mouth,his food is turned sour in his stomach; it becomes the venom of serpents within him.The wealth that he consumed he vomits up, God will make him throw it out of his stomach.He sucks the poison of serpents; the fangs of a viper kill him.He will not look on the streams, the rivers, which are the torrents of honey and butter.He gives back the ill-gotten gain without assimilating it; he will not enjoy the wealth from his commerce.For he has oppressed the poor and abandoned them; he has seized a house which he did not build.For he knows no satisfaction in his appetite; he does not let anything he desires escape.“ Nothing is left for him to devour; that is why his prosperity does not last.In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress overtakes him. the full force of misery will come upon him.“ While he is filling his belly, God sends his burning anger against him, and rains down his blows upon him.If he flees from an iron weapon, then an arrow from a bronze bow pierces him.When he pulls it out and it comes out of his back, the gleaming point out of his liver, terrors come over him.Total darkness waits to receive his treasures; a fire which has not been kindled will consume him and devour what is left in his tent.The heavens reveal his iniquity; the earth rises up against him.A flood will carry off his house, rushing waters on the day of God’s wrath.Such is the lot God allots the wicked, and the heritage of his appointment from God.”

Look, the sovereign master, the LORD who commands armies, is ready to cut off the branches with terrifying power. The tallest trees will be cut down, the loftiest ones will be brought low.The thickets of the forest will be chopped down with an ax, and mighty Lebanon will fall.

For the horses of Pharaoh came with his chariots and his footmen into the sea, and the LORD brought back the waters of the sea on them, but the Israelites walked on dry land in the middle of the sea.”

For this reason the sovereign master, the LORD who commands armies, will make his healthy ones emaciated. His majestic glory will go up in smoke.The light of Israel will become a fire, their Holy One will become a flame; it will burn and consume the Assyrian king’s briers and his thorns in one day.The splendor of his forest and his orchard will be completely destroyed, as when a sick man’s life ebbs away.There will be so few trees left in his forest, a child will be able to count them.

But the crowd began to shout,“ The voice of a god, and not of a man!”Immediately an angel of the Lord struck Herod down because he did not give the glory to God, and he was eaten by worms and died.
