King James Version with Apocrypha
"Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;"
— Job 20:6, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;”
“Though his height mount up to the heavens, And his head reach unto the clouds; ”
“Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds,”
“Even though his stature reaches to the heavens and his head touches the clouds,”
“If his pride mount up even to heaven, and his head touch the clouds:”
“Though he is lifted up to the heavens, and his head goes up to the clouds;”
I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
