6. Even though hin levels long reach heaven, and hin head dey touch di clouds;
7. But he go kpeme forever like hin own shit [wey dem throway]; pipo wey bin see am before go tok sey, “Where he con dey?”
8. He go fly komot like dream, and dem no go see am again. Yes, he go run komot like vision for night. 
9. Di eyes wey bin see am no go see am again; and he no go fit live for hin house again.
10. Hin pikin go favour poor pipo, and hin hands go give back to poor pipo.
11. Hin bones brekete wit di pawa of hin youth, but e go follow am enta grave.
