Job 20:4-11

Amplified Bible

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)
6 
“Though his pride reaches the heavens
And his head touches the clouds,
⁷ 
Yet he perishes forever like his own refuse;
Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
⁸ 
“He flies away like a dream and cannot be found;
Yes, he is chased away like a vision of the night.
⁹ 
“The eye which saw him sees him no longer,
Neither does his [accustomed] place behold him any longer.
¹⁰ 
“His sons favor the poor [and pay his obligations],
And his hands give back his [ill-gotten] wealth.
¹¹ 
“His bones are full of youthful strength
But it lies down with him in the dust.
