New American Standard Bible 1995
Job 20:6-11
6Though his loftiness 12reaches the heavens, And his head touches the clouds,7He 3perishes forever like his refuse; Those who have seen him 4will say, ‘Where is he?’8He flies away like a 5dream, and they cannot find him; Even like a vision of the night he is 6chased away.9The 7eye which saw him sees him no longer, And 8his place no longer beholds him.10His 9sons 10favor the poor, And his hands 11give back his wealth.11His 12bones are full of his youthful vigor, But it lies down with him 13in the dust.
