Job 20:4 in context

The verses around it, from Job 20.

1 Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:

2 “So my anxious thoughts compel me to answer, because of the turmoil within me.

3 I have heard a rebuke that insults me, and my understanding prompts a reply.

4 Do you not know that from antiquity, since man was placed on the earth,

5 the triumph of the wicked has been brief and the joy of the godless momentary?

6 Though his arrogance reaches the heavens, and his head touches the clouds,

7 he will perish forever, like his own dung; those who had seen him will ask, ‘Where is he?’

8 He will fly away like a dream, never to be found; he will be chased away like a vision in the night.
