Job 20:6-9

6Though his loftiness 1 2reaches 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.
