ESV	Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.
NIV	Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath.
NLT	Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind, and the powerful are not what they appear to be. If you weigh them on the scales, together they are lighter than a breath of air.
