"He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: Yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night. "
— Job 20:8, American Standard Version
“He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.”
“He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found. Yes, he shall be chased away like a vision of the night.”
“Like a dream he flies away, never again to be found, and like a vision of the night he is put to flight.”
“As a dream that fleeth away he shall not be found, he shall pass as a vision of the night:”
“He is gone like a dream, and is not seen again; he goes in flight like a vision of the night.”
“He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.”
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless but for a moment?
Though his height mount up to the heavens, And his head reach unto the clouds;
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: They that 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 which saw him shall see him no more; Neither shall his place any more behold him.
His children shall seek the favor of the poor, And his hands shall give back his wealth.
His bones are full of his youth, But it shall lie down with him in the dust.
