Job 20:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 the triumph of the wicked has always been short-lived,
and the joy of the sinner lasts only for a moment.
6 Even though in his pride he towers to the sky
and his head touches the clouds,
7 he is destined to perish forever like his own dung,[a]
and those who used to see him will ask:
‘Where is he?’
