Job 20:3-8 New Century Version (NCV)

3. You correct me and I am insulted,but I understand how to answer you.

4. “You know how it has been for a long time,ever since people were first put on the earth.

5. The happiness of evil people is brief,and the joy of the wicked lasts only a moment.

6. Their pride may be as high as the heavens,and their heads may touch the clouds,

7. but they will be gone forever, like their own dung.People who knew them will say, ‘Where are they?’

8. They will fly away like a dreamand not be found again;they will be chased away like a vision in the night.
