Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?

Stop regarding man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils; For why should he be esteemed?

Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?

Sever yourselves from such a man, Whose breath is in his nostrils; For of what account is he?

Stop regarding man, whose breath [of life] is in his nostrils [for so little time]; For why should he be esteemed?

Don’t put your trust in mere humans. They are as frail as breath. What good are they?

So once and for all, stop trusting in man, who is but one breath from death—frail and puny man!

Stop regarding man in whose nostrils is breath, for of what account is he?
