Job 20:4-8

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.

7 But he will disappear for ever,

like dung that people throw away.

His friends will ask, “Where is he?”

8 He will disappear like a dream that quickly goes away.

Nobody can find him any more.
