Job 20:4-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁴ Do you not know this from of old,
    ever since mortals were placed on earth,
⁵ that the exulting of the wicked is short,
    and the joy of the godless is but for a moment?
⁶ Even though they mount up high as the heavens,
    and their head reaches to the clouds,
