Job 20:3-5

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

³ I hear censure that insults me,
    and a spirit beyond my understanding answers me.
⁴ Do you not know this from of old,
    ever since mortals were placed on earth,
⁵ that the exulting of the wicked is short,
    and the joy of the godless is but for a moment?
