Job 20:4
Compare all
2 “Therefore my anxious thoughts make me answer,
Because of the turmoil within me.
3 I have heard the rebuke1 that reproaches me,
And the spirit of my understanding causes me to answer. 
4 “Do you not know this of aold,
Since man was placed on earth, 
5 aThat the triumphing of the wicked is short,
And the joy of the hypocrite is but for a bmoment? 
6 aThough his haughtiness mounts up to the heavens,
And his head reaches to the clouds, 
7 Yet he will perish forever like his own refuse;
Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
8 He will fly away alike a dream, and not be found;
Yes, he bwill be chased away like a vision of the night. 
9 The eye that saw him will see him no more,
Nor will his place behold him anymore.
