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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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