Job 20:5-9
New Living Translation
5 the triumph of the wicked has been short lived
and the joy of the godless has been only temporary?

and their heads touch the clouds,

They will vanish like a vision in the night.
9 Those who once saw them will see them no more.
Their families will never see them again.
