Job 20:4-9

4“Do you not know this of old, Since man was placed on earth,

5That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the hypocrite is but for a moment?

6Though his haughtiness mounts up to the heavens, And his head reaches to the clouds,

7Yet he will perish forever like his own refuse; Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’

8He will fly away like a dream, and not be found; Yes, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.

9The eye that saw him will see him no more, Nor will his place behold him anymore.
