- 7Yet he shall perish forever like his own dung, Those who have seen him shall say, 'Where is he?'
- 8He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: Yes, he shall be chased away like a vision of the night.
- 9The eye which saw him shall see him no more, Neither shall his place any more see him.
