Job 20:6 in Context — Job 20

4 Por acaso não sabes isto, [que foi] desde a antiguidade, desde que o ser humano foi posto no mundo?

5 Que o júbilo dos perversos é breve, e a alegria do hipócrita [dura apenas] um momento?

6 Ainda que sua altura subisse até o céu, e sua cabeça chegasse até as nuvens,

7 [Mesmo assim] com o seu excremento perecerá para sempre; os que houverem o visto, dirão: Onde ele está?

8 Como um sonho voará, e não será achado; e será afugentado como a visão noturna.
