Job 20:4-9

4“Surely you know that it has been from old, ever since humankind was placed on the earth,

5that the elation of the wicked is brief, the joy of the godless lasts but a moment.

6Even though his stature reaches to the heavens and his head touches the clouds,

7he will perish forever, like his own excrement; those who used to see him will say, ‘Where is he?’

8Like a dream he flies away, never again to be found, and like a vision of the night he is put to flight.

9People who had seen him will not see him again, and the place where he was will recognize him no longer.
