New American Standard Bible 1995
Job 20:4-9
4Do you know this from 1of old, From the establishment of man on earth,5That the 2triumphing of the wicked is short, And 3the joy of the godless momentary?6Though his loftiness 45reaches the heavens, And his head touches the clouds,7He 6perishes forever like his refuse; Those who have seen him 7will say, ‘Where is he?’8He flies away like a 8dream, and they cannot find him; Even like a vision of the night he is 9chased away.9The 10eye which saw him sees him no longer, And 11his place no longer beholds him.
