Lowborn men are but a vapor; the exalted are but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.

Ordinary people are mere breaths, while leaders are just fakes. Put them all together and weigh them on scales and they wouldn't weigh more than air!

T4T
People who are considered to be unimportant are as worthless/unreliable as a breath of air; people who are considered to be important also really ◄amount to nothing/cannot be trusted to help us►. If you put them all on a scale, it would be as if they weighed less than a puff of air.
WEB (US)
Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.
Nederlands
Canisius
Maar de mens is enkel een zucht, De kinderen der mensen een leugen; In de weegschaal gaan ze allen omhoog, Ze zijn lichter dan lucht. Vertrouw rustig op God, mijn ziel, Want van Hem komt mijn heil; Hij alleen is mijn rots en mijn redding, Mijn toevlucht: nooit zal ik wankelen!
