Job 20:4-10

View Full Chapter

4“Surely you know how it has been from of old, ever since mankind Or Adam was placed on the earth,

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

6Though the pride of the godless person reaches to the heavens and his head touches the clouds,

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

8Like a dream he flies away, no more to be found, banished like a vision of the night.

9The eye that saw him will not see him again; his place will look on him no more.

10His children must make amends to the poor; his own hands must give back his wealth.
