Job 20:4-9

4KnowestH3045 thou not this of oldH5703, since manH120 was placedH7760 upon earthH776,

5That the triumphingH7445 of the wickedH7563 is shortH7138, and the joyH8057 of the hypocriteH2611 but for a momentH7281?1

6Though his excellencyH7863 mount upH5927 to the heavensH8064, and his headH7218 reachH5060 unto the cloudsH5645;2

7Yet he shall perishH6 for everH5331 like his own dungH1561: they which have seenH7200 him shall sayH559, WhereH335 is he?

8He shall fly awayH5774 as a dreamH2472, and shall not be foundH4672: yea, he shall be chased awayH5074 as a visionH2384 of the nightH3915.

9The eyeH5869 also which sawH7805 him shall see him no moreH3254; neither shall his placeH4725 any more beholdH7789 him.
