Job 20:4-11

Wycliffe Bible

⁴ I know this from the beginning, since man was set on [the] earth, (Certainly thou knowest this from the beginning, since man was put on the earth,)

⁵ that the praising of wicked men is short(-lived), and the joy of an hypocrite is at the likeness of a point soon passing (away).

⁶ Though his pride go up into (the) heaven(s), and his head toucheth the clouds,

⁷ he shall be lost in the end, as a dunghill; and, they that have seen him, shall say, Where is he? (he shall be discarded in the end, like his own dung; and then they who have seen him, shall say, Where is he?)

⁸ As a dream flying away, or soon forgotten, he shall not be found; he shall pass as the sight of nights. (Like a dream flying away, or soon forgotten, he shall not be found; he shall pass away like a vision in the night.)

⁹ The eye that saw him shall not see him again; and his place shall no more behold him.

¹⁰ His sons shall be all-broken with neediness; and his hands shall yield to him his sorrow. (His sons shall make recompense to the poor; and with their hands they shall give back their goods to them.)

¹¹ His bones shall be [full-]filled with the vices of his young waxing age; and they shall sleep with him in (the) dust.
