Job 20:1-9
English Standard Version
2"Therefore my thoughts answer me, because of my haste within me.
3I hear censure that insults me, and out of my understanding a spirit answers me.
4Do you not know this from of old, since man was placed on earth,
5 that the exulting of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
6 Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds,
7he will perish forever like his own dung; those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
8He will fly away like a dream and not be found; he will be chased away like a vision of the night.
9 The eye that saw him will see him no more, nor will his place any more behold him.
