Job 20:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ that the exulting of the wicked is short,
    and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
⁶ Though his height mount up to the heavens,
    and his head reach to the clouds,
⁷ he will perish for ever like his own dung;
    those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
