Job 20:2-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
2
'Therefore my disquieting thoughts make me respond,
Even because of my inward agitation.
3
I listened to the reprimand which insults me,
And the spirit of my understanding makes me answer.
4
Do you know this from ancient times,
From the establishment of mankind on earth,
5
That the rejoicing of the wicked is short,
And the joy of the godless momentary?
6
Though his arrogance reaches the heavens,
And his head touches the clouds,
7
He perishes forever like his refuse;
Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
King James Version
Chapter 20
2
Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
3
I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
4
Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
5
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
6
Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
7
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 20
2
This is why my unsettling thoughts compel me to answer,
because I am upset!
3
I have heard a rebuke that insults me,
and my understanding makes me reply.
4
Don’t you know that ever since antiquity,
from the time a human was placed on earth,
5
the joy of the wicked has been brief
and the happiness of the godless has lasted only a moment?
6
Though his arrogance reaches heaven,
and his head touches the clouds,
7
he will vanish forever like his own dung.
Those who know him will ask, "Where is he?"
New Living Translation
Chapter 20
2
'I must reply
because I am greatly disturbed.
3
I’ve had to endure your insults,
but now my spirit prompts me to reply.
4
'Don’t you realize that from the beginning of time,
ever since people were first placed on the earth,
5
the triumph of the wicked has been short lived
and the joy of the godless has been only temporary?
6
Though the pride of the godless reaches to the heavens
and their heads touch the clouds,
7
yet they will vanish forever,
thrown away like their own dung.
Those who knew them will ask,
‘Where are they?’
English Standard Version
Chapter 20
2
"Therefore my thoughts answer me,
because of my haste within me.
3
I hear censure that insults me,
and out of my understanding a spirit answers me.
4
Do 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,
7
he will perish forever like his own dung;
those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
New International Version
Chapter 20
2
"My troubled thoughts prompt me to answer
because I am greatly disturbed.
3
I 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,
5
that the mirth of the wicked is brief,
the joy of the godless lasts but a moment.
6
Though the pride of the godless person reaches to the heavens
and his head touches the clouds,
7
he will perish forever, like his own dung;
those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
New King James Version
Chapter 20
2
“Therefore my anxious thoughts make me answer,
Because of the turmoil within me.
3
I have heard the rebuke that reproaches me,
And the spirit of my understanding causes me to answer.
4
“Do you
not
know this of old,
Since man was placed on earth,
5
That the triumphing of the wicked is short,
And the joy of the hypocrite is
but
for a moment?
6
Though 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?’
