Job 20:3-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
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? 6Though his arrogance reaches the heavens, And his head touches the clouds,King James Version
Chapter 20
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? 6Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;Christian Standard Bible
