Job 20:6 in Context — Job 20

4 ¿No sabes esto que fué siempre, desde el tiempo que fué puesto el hombre sobre la tierra,

5 Que la alegría de los impíos es breve, y el gozo del hipócrita por un momento?

6 Si subiere su altivez hasta el cielo, y su cabeza tocare en las nubes,

7 Con su estiércol perecerá para siempre: los que le hubieren visto, dirán: ¿Qué es de él?

8 Como sueño volará, y no será hallado: y disiparáse como visión nocturna.
