Job 20:5-9

English Standard Version

^5 (A)that the exulting of the wicked is short,
    and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
^6 (B)Though his height mount up to the heavens,
    and his head reach to the clouds,
⁷ he will perish forever like his own ^(C)dung;
    those who have seen him will say, ^(D)‘Where is he?’
⁸ He will fly away like ^(E)a dream and not be found;
    he will be chased away like a vision of the night.
^9 (F)The eye that saw him will see him no more,
    nor will his place any more behold him.
