Job 8:18

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have never seen you.’

See the chapter Copy

he will perish for ever like his own dung; those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’

The eye which saw him will see him no more, nor will his place any more behold him.

he returns no more to his house, nor does his place know him any more.

The eye of him who sees me will behold me no more; while thy eyes are upon me, I shall be gone.

His roots twine about the stoneheap; he lives among the rocks.

for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.

Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look well at his place, he will not be there.

Again I passed by, and lo, he was no more; though I sought him, he could not be found.

that, though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction for ever,
