Job 20:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ Those who are evil are happy for only a short time.
    The joy of ungodly people lasts only for a moment.
⁶ Their pride might reach all the way up to the heavens.
    Their heads might touch the clouds.
⁷ But they will disappear forever,
    like the waste from their own bodies.
Anyone who has seen them will say,
    ‘Where did they go?’
