Job 20:2-5
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 20

2'Therefore my disquieting thoughts make me respond, Even because of my inward agitation. 3I listened to the reprimand which insults me, And the spirit of my understanding makes me answer. 4Do you know this from ancient times, From the establishment of mankind on earth, 5That the rejoicing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless momentary?
King James Version

Chapter 20

2Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
3I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
4Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
5That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 20

2This is why my unsettling thoughts compel me to answer, because I am upset!
3I have heard a rebuke that insults me, and my understanding makes me reply. 4Don’t you know that ever since antiquity, from the time a human was placed on earth, 5the joy of the wicked has been brief and the happiness of the godless has lasted only a moment?
New Living Translation

4'Don’t you realize that from the beginning of time, ever since people were first placed on the earth, 5the triumph of the wicked has been short lived and the joy of the godless has been only temporary?
English Standard Version

Chapter 20

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?
New International Version

Chapter 20

2"My troubled thoughts prompt me to answer because I am greatly disturbed.
3I hear a rebuke that dishonors me, and my understanding inspires me to reply. 4"Surely you know how it has been from of old, ever since mankind was placed on the earth, 5that the mirth of the wicked is brief, the joy of the godless lasts but a moment.
New King James Version
