Job 20:4-11

The Triumph of the Wicked Is Short

Job 20:4-11
4
Do you not know that from antiquity, since man was placed on the earth,
5
the triumph of the wicked has been brief and the joy of the godless momentary?
6
Though his arrogance reaches the heavens, and his head touches the clouds,
7
he will perish forever, like his own dung; those who had seen him will ask, ‘Where is he?’
8
He will fly away like a dream, never to be found; he will be chased away like a vision in the night.
9
The eye that saw him will see him no more, and his place will no longer behold him.
10
His sons will seek the favor of the poor, for his own hands must return his wealth.
11
The youthful vigor that fills his bones will lie down with him in the dust.
