For the hope of the ungodly is like dust that is blown away with the wind; like a thin froth that is driven away with the storm; like as the smoke which is dispersed here and there with a tempest, and passeth away as the remembrance of a guest that tarrieth but a day.
[tr. KJV (1611)]

For the hope of the wicked is as dust, which is blown away with the wind, and as a thin froth which is dispersed by the storm: and a smoke that is scattered abroad by the wind: and as the remembrance of a guest of one day that passeth by.
[tr. DRA (1899), 5:15]

Yes, the hope of the godless is like chaff carried on the wind, like fine spray driven by the gale; it disperses like smoke before the wind, goes like the memory of a one-day guest.
[tr. JB (1966)]

For the hope of the godless is like chaff carried on the wind, like fine spray driven by the storm; it disperses like smoke before the wind, goes away like the memory of a one-day guest.
[tr. NJB (1985)]

The ungodly person’s hope disappears like dust in the wind, like frost that is stripped away and scattered by a mighty wind, like smoke that rises and is immediately dispersed by the wind, like the memory of a stranger who spends the day and then is gone.
[tr. CEB (2011)]

Because the hope of the ungodly is like thistledown carried by the wind
and like a light frost driven away by a storm;
it is dispersed like smoke before the wind,
and it passes like the remembrance of a guest who stays but a day.
[tr. NRSV (2021 ed.)]

What hath pride profited us? or what good hath riches with our vaunting brought us?
All those things are passed away like a shadow, and as a post that hasted by;
[tr. KJV (1611)]

What hath pride profited us? or what advantage hath the boasting of riches brought us?
All those things are passed away like a shadow, and like a post that runneth on.
[tr. DRA (1899)]

Arrogance, what advantage has this brought us?
Wealth and boasting, what have these conferred on us?
All those things have passed like a shadow,
passed like a fleeting rumour.
[tr. JB (1966)]

What good has arrogance been to us?
What has been the purpose of our riches and boastfulness?
All those things have passed like a shadow,
passed like a fleeting rumour.
[tr. NJB (1985)]

We were so proud of ourselves — we bragged about how rich we were — and now, what good has it done us? All those things are gone now; they have disappeared like a shadow, like something you hear and then forget.
[tr. GNT (1992 ed.)]

What has our arrogance profited us?
And what good has our boasted wealth brought us?
All those things have vanished like a shadow
and like a rumor that passes by.
[tr. NRSV (2021 ed.)]
