Job 8:12-13

12 While yet in flower and not cut down,
they ^awither before any other plant.
13 Such are the paths of all who ^bforget God;
^cthe hope of ^dthe godless shall perish.

Job 20:5-8

5 ^ethat the exulting of the wicked is short,
and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
6 ^fThough his height mount up to the heavens,
and his head reach to the clouds,
7 he will perish forever like his own ^gdung;
those who have seen him will say, ^h‘Where is he?’
8 He will fly away like ⁱa dream and not be found;
he will be chased away like a vision of the night.

Psalms 37:35-36

35 ^jI have seen a wicked, ruthless man,
spreading himself like ^ka green laurel tree. ^{▼▼The identity of this tree is uncertain}
36 But he passed away, ^{▼▼Or But one passed by} and behold, ⁿhe was no more;
though I sought him, he could not be found.

Proverbs 7:22-23

22 All at once he follows her,
as an ox goes to the slaughter,
or as a stag is caught fast ^{▼▼Probable reading (compare Septuagint, Vulgate, Syriac); Hebrew as an anklet for the discipline of a fool}
23 till an arrow pierces its liver;
as ^pa bird rushes into a snare;
he does not know that it will cost him his life.

Proverbs 27:1

1 Do not boast about tomorrow,
