Wisdom of Solomon 5:14
“For the hope of the vngodly is like dust that is blowen away with þe wind, like a thinne froth that is driuen away with þe storme: like as the smoke which is dispersed here and there with a tempest, and passeth away as the remembrance of a guest that tarieth but a day.”

Wisdom of Solomon 5:14 Context
12Or like as when an arrow is shot at a marke, it parteth the aire, which immediatly commeth together againe: so that a man cannot know where it went thorow: 13Euen so we in like maner, assoone as we were borne, began to draw to our end, and had no signe of vertue to shew: but were consumed in our owne wickednesse. 14For the hope of the vngodly is like dust that is blowen away with þe wind, like a thinne froth that is driuen away with þe storme: like as the smoke which is dispersed here and there with a tempest, and passeth away as the remembrance of a guest that tarieth but a day. 15But þe righteous liue for euermore, their reward also is with the Lord, and the care of them is with the most High. 16Therfore shall they receiue a glorious kingdome, & a beautiful crowne from the Lords hande: for with his right hand shall he couer them, and with his arme shall he protect them.

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.
