Job 20:5-11 English Standard Version (ESV)

5. that the exulting of the wicked is short,and the joy of the godless but for a moment?

6. Though his height mount up to the heavens,and his head reach to the clouds,

7. he will perish forever like his own dung;those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’

8. He will fly away like a dream and not be found;he will be chased away like a vision of the night.

9. The eye that saw him will see him no more,nor will his place any more behold him.

10. His children will seek the favor of the poor,and his hands will give back his wealth.

11. His bones are full of his youthful vigor,but it will lie down with him in the dust.
