Job 20:3-5

The Voice

³     I caught wind of your words that dishonor me,
        but I am prompted to answer based on my own spirit and understanding.
⁴     Don’t you know how it has always been?
        Since humankind was first put here on the earth,
⁵     The celebrations of the wicked have been brief,
        and the joy of the profane lasts only a moment.
