Job 20:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵that the exulting of the wicked is short
    and the joy of the godless is but for a moment?^(A)
⁶Even though they mount up high as the heavens
    and their head reaches to the clouds,^(B)
⁷they will perish forever like their own dung;
    those who have seen them will say, ‘Where are they?’
