# will perish forever like his own dung

Dung mixes in with the ground and disappears. The reference to dung may also imply that the wicked person is worthless. Alternate translation: "will perish permanently like his dung, which completely disappears in the ground" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])

# his own dung

If people are embarrassed about the word "dung," translators may refer to something else that disappears completely. Alternate translation: "dust that the wind blows away" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])
