Job 20:4-11

The Triumph of the Wicked Is Short

Job 20:4-11
4
Knowest thou not this of olde? and since God placed man vpon the earth,
5
That the reioycing of the wicked is short, and that the ioy of hypocrites is but a moment?
6
Though his excellencie mount vp to the heauen, and his head reache vnto the cloudes,
7
Yet shall hee perish for euer, like his dung, and they which haue seene him, shall say, Where is hee?
8
He shall flee away as a dreame, and they shall not finde him, and shall passe away as a vision of the night,
9
So that the eye which had seene him, shall do so no more, and his place shall see him no more.
10
His children shall flatter the poore, and his hands shall restore his substance.
11
His bones are full of the sinne of his youth, and it shall lie downe with him in the dust.
