他們一時得勢，轉瞬消逝；他們淪為卑賤，像其他人一樣滅亡，像麥穗一樣被割掉。

他们被高举，不过片时就没有了；他们降为卑，被除灭，与众人一样，又如谷穗被割。

他们高升，不过片刻就没有了；他们降为卑，被除灭，与众人一样，又如谷的穗子被割下。

他们高升，不过片刻就没有了；他们降为卑，被除灭，与众人一样，又如谷的穗子被割下。

他们一时得势，转瞬消逝；他们沦为卑贱，像其他人一样灭亡，像麦穗一样被割掉。

他们被高举不过片时，就没有了，他们降为卑，如众人一样被收拾起来，他们又如谷穗枯干。

他們被高舉，不過片時就沒有了；他們降為卑，被除滅，與眾人一樣，又如穀穗被割。

他們高升，不過片刻就沒有了；他們降為卑，被除滅，與眾人一樣，又如穀的穗子被割下。

他們高升，不過片刻就沒有了；他們降為卑，被除滅，與眾人一樣，又如穀的穗子被割下。

他們被高舉不過片時，就沒有了，他們降為卑，如眾人一樣被收拾起來，他們又如穀穗枯乾。

但是他們被高舉不過片時，就沒有了；他們被降低，被收拾，跟眾人一樣；又如穗頭被割下。

彼被高舉、未幾而逝、卑降見移、與眾無殊、有若穀穗被刈、

勃然而興、不久逝世、與眾無異、譬諸田禾、既稔而刈。

其興也、或作畢生興盛俄頃即逝、滅亡入墓、與眾無異、如成熟之穀穗被刈、

For a little while they are exalted, and then they are gone; they are brought low and gathered up like all others; they are cut off like heads of grain.

For a little while they are honored. Then they are gone. They are brought low. And they die like everyone else. They are cut off like heads of grain.

They are exalted a little while, and then are gone; they are brought low and gathered up like all others; they are cut off like the heads of grain.

And though they are great now, in a moment they will be gone like all others, cut off like heads of grain.

They are exalted for a moment, then gone; they are brought low and shrivel up like everything else. They wither like heads of grain.

They are exalted a little while, then they are gone; Moreover, they are brought low, and like everything they are gathered up; Like the heads of grain they wither.

They are exalted for a little while, Then they are gone. They are brought low; They are taken out of the way like all others; They dry out like the heads of grain.

They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone; Yea, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, And are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.

They are exalted for a moment, then they are gone; they are brought low and shrivel up like everything else. They wither like heads of grain.

They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all[ other], and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.

They are exalted for a little while, and then they are gone, they are brought low like all others, and gathered in, and like a head of grain they are cut off.’

They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone. Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.

再過片刻，惡人必不復存在，無處可尋。

他的後人得尊榮，他無從知曉；他們遭貶抑，他也無法察覺。

我再觀看，見有一朵白雲，上面坐著的好像是人子，祂頭戴金冠，手拿鋒利的鐮刀。有一位天使從殿中出來，揚聲向坐在雲上的那位說：「揮動你的鐮刀收割吧！地上的莊稼已經熟透了，可以收割了。」於是，坐在雲上的那位便向大地揮動鐮刀，把地上的莊稼都收割了。另一位天使手裡也拿著鋒利的鐮刀從天上的殿中出來。又有一位掌管烈火的天使從祭壇那裡出來，對手拿鐮刀的天使高喊：「揮動你鋒利的鐮刀，收取地上葡萄樹的果實吧！它們已經熟透了。」於是，那天使揮動鐮刀，收取了地上的葡萄，拋到上帝烈怒的大榨酒池中。葡萄在城外的榨酒池中被踩踏，血從榨酒池中湧出，高至馬的嚼環，流了三百公里遠。

他們頃刻間被毀滅，在恐怖中徹底滅亡。

惡人雖如草滋生，一時亨通，但終必永遠滅亡。

你們這些富有的人啊！為那將要臨到你們身上的災難痛哭哀號吧！你們的財物朽壞了，衣服也被蟲蛀了。你們的金銀生了鏽，那鏽必要指控你們，像火一樣吞噬你們的身體。在末世的日子裡，你們只知道積攢財寶。

驕陽升起，草就乾枯，花也凋謝，美麗就消失了。富有的人在忙忙碌碌中也會如此衰殘。

我見過邪惡殘暴之人，乍看如蔥蘢的黎巴嫩香柏樹，再一看，他已經消失得無影無蹤，無處可尋。

憎恨你的人必抱愧蒙羞，惡人的帳篷必不復存在。」

國家好像一塊已收割的田地，又像撿淨麥穗的利乏音谷。倖存者寥寥無幾，就像打過的橄欖樹上剩下的果子，或兩三個掛在樹梢，或四五個殘存在枝頭。」這是以色列的上帝耶和華說的。

惡人得勢不會長久，不信上帝者的快樂轉瞬即逝？
