Job 20:4-9

4 Do you not know this from of old,
^asince man was placed on earth,
5 ^bthat the exulting of the wicked is short,
and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
6 ^cThough his height mount up to the heavens,
and his head reach to the clouds,
7 he will perish forever like his own ^ddung;
those who have seen him will say, ^e‘Where is he?’
8 He will fly away like ^fa dream and not be found;
he will be chased away like a vision of the night.
9 ^gThe eye that saw him will see him no more,
nor will his place any more behold him.
