Job 20:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ that the triumphing of the wicked is short,
    and the joy of the hypocrite is but for a moment?
⁶ Though his loftiness extends to the heavens,
    and his head reaches to the clouds,
⁷ yet he will perish forever like his own excrement;
    those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
