They are exalted for a moment, then they are gone; they are brought low and gathered up like all others; they are cut off like heads of grain.
KJV
They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all [other], and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
ASV
