| 9Surely the lowborn are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie. If weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath. | 9Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath. | 9Men 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. | 9Surely 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. | 9Men are only a vapor; exalted men, an illusion. Weighed in the scales, they go up; together they are less than a vapor. |

| 12and with you, Lord, is unfailing love"; and, "You reward everyone according to what they have done." | 12and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For you will render to a man according to his work. | 12And lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord, For You recompense a man according to his work. | 12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work. | 12and faithful love belongs to You, LORD.
