Job 20:3-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

³ “I listened to ^(A)the reproof which insults me,
And the spirit of my understanding makes me answer.
⁴ “Do you know this from ^(B)of old,
From the establishment of man on earth,
⁵ That the ^(C)triumphing of the wicked is short,
And ^(D)the joy of the godless momentary?
