¹² You shall seek them and not find them—
^[a]Those who contended with you.
Those who war against you
Shall be as nothing,
As a nonexistent thing.

³⁵ I have seen the wicked in great power,
And spreading himself like a native green tree.
³⁶ Yet ^[a]he passed away, and behold, he was no more;
Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found.

¹⁴ Then behold, at eventide, trouble!
And before the morning, he is no more.
This is the portion of those who plunder us,
And the lot of those who rob us.

⁷ Yet he will perish forever like his own refuse;
Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
⁸ He will fly away ^(A)like a dream, and not be found;
Yes, he ^(B)will be chased away like a vision of the night.
⁹ The eye that saw him will see him no more,
Nor will his place behold him anymore.
