Job 20:5
World English Bible (WEB)
that the triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the godless but for a moment?
In context
3 I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.
4 Don’t you know this from old time, since man was placed on earth,
5 that the triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the godless but for a moment?
6 Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds,
7 yet he will perish forever like his own dung. Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
