Job 20:4-11

The Triumph of the Wicked Is Short

Job 20:4-11
4
This I know from the beginning, since man was placed upon the earth,
5
That the praise of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment.
6
If his pride mount up even to heaven, and his head touch the clouds:
7
In the end he shall be destroyed like a dunghill, and they that had seen him, shall say: Where is he?
8
As a dream that fleeth away he shall not be found, he shall pass as a vision of the night:
9
The eyes that had seen him, shall see him no more, neither shall his place any more behold him.
10
His children shall be oppressed with want, and his hands shall render to him his sorrow.
11
His bones shall be filled with the vices of his youth, and they shall sleep with him in the dust.
