16 Though he heap up silver like dust
    and store away mounds of clothing,
17 What he has stored the righteous shall wear,
    and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18 He builds his house as of cobwebs,
    or like a booth put up by a watchman.
19 He lies down a rich man, one last time;
    he opens his eyes—nothing is there.(A)
20 Terrors flood over him like water,
    at night the tempest carries him off.
21 The east wind seizes him and he is gone;
    it sweeps him from his place;
22 It hurls itself at him without pity,
    as he tries to flee from its power.
23 It claps its hands at him,
    and whistles at him from its place.

16 Though they heap up silver like dust,
    and pile up clothing like clay—
17 they may pile it up, but the just will wear it,
    and the innocent will divide the silver.
18 They build their houses like nests,
    like booths made by sentinels of the vineyard.
19 They go to bed with wealth, but will do so no more;
    they open their eyes, and it is gone.
20 Terrors overtake them like a flood;
    in the night a whirlwind carries them off.
21 The east wind lifts them up and they are gone;
    it sweeps them out of their place.
22 It[a] hurls at them without pity;
    they flee from its[b] power in headlong flight.
23 It[c] claps its[d] hands at them,
    and hisses at them from its[e] place.

16 If they store up silver like dust,
    amass clothing like clay,
17     they may amass, but the righteous will wear it;
            the innocent will divide the silver.
18 They built their houses like nests,
    like a hut made by a watchman.
19 They lie down rich, but no longer;
    open their eyes, but it’s missing.
20 Terrors overtake them like waters;
        a tempest snatches them by night;
21     an east wind lifts them, and they are gone,
        removes them from their places,
22     throws itself on them without mercy;
        they flee desperately from its force.
23 It claps its hands over them,
    hisses at them from their place.

16 Though he piles up silver like dust,
And prepares garments as plentiful as the clay,
17 He may prepare it, (A)but the righteous will wear it
And the innocent will divide the silver.
18 He has built his (B)house like the [a]spider’s web,
Or a hut which the watchman has made.
19 He lies down rich, but never [b]again;
He opens his eyes, and (C)it no longer exists.
20 (D)Terrors overtake him like a flood;
A storm steals him away (E)in the night.
21 The east (F)wind carries him away, and he is gone;
For it sweeps him (G)away from his place.
22 For it will hurl at him (H)without mercy;
He will certainly try to (I)flee from its [c]power.
23 People will [d]clap their hands at him,
And will (J)whistle at him from their places.
