Job 20:5-9

5That the 1triumphing of the wicked is short, And 2the joy of the godless momentary?6Though his loftiness 3 4reaches the heavens, And his head touches the clouds,7He 5perishes forever like his refuse; Those who have seen him 6will say, ‘Where is he?’8He flies away like a 7dream, and they cannot find him; Even like a vision of the night he is 8chased away.9The 9eye which saw him sees him no longer, And 10his place no longer beholds him.
