Job 20:4-6
EasyEnglish Bible

4 I am sure that you know this fact.
It has been true from long ago,
    since people first lived on the earth.
5 You know that a wicked person is only happy for a short time.
    His joy continues only for a moment.
6 He may think that he is more important than other people.
    He may be proud of the honour that he receives.

6 Though the pride(E) of the godless person reaches to the heavens(F)
    and his head touches the clouds,(G)
