9 Common people are only a vapor;
important people, an illusion.
Together on a scale,
they weigh less than[a] a vapor.(A)

or false hope in robbery.(B)
If wealth increases,
don’t set your heart on it.(C)

I have heard this twice:
strength belongs to God,(D)

or put vain hope in stolen goods;(E)
though your riches increase,
do not set your heart on them.(F)
