Job 20:3-5

Amplified Bible

³ 
“I have heard the reproof which insults me,
But the spirit of my understanding makes me answer.
⁴ 
“Do you not know this from the old days,
Since the time that man was placed on the earth,
⁵ 
That the triumphing of the wicked is short,
And the joy of the godless is only for a moment?^(A)
