Job 20:5-8 New English Translation (NET)

5. that the elation of the wicked is brief,the joy of the godless lasts but a moment.

6. Even though his stature reaches to the heavensand his head touches the clouds,

7. he will perish forever, like his own excrement;those who used to see him will say, ‘Where is he?’

8. Like a dream he flies away, never again to be found,and like a vision of the night he is put to flight.
