Job 20:7-9
7כְּגֶלֲלוֹ לָנֶצַח יֹאבֵד רֹאָיו יֹאמְרוּ אַיּוֹ ׃
8כַּחֲלוֹם יָעוּף וְלֹא יִמְצָאוּהוּ וְיֻדַּד כְּחֶזְיוֹן לָיְלָה ׃
9עַיִן שְׁזָפַתּוּ וְלֹא תוֹסִיף וְלֹא־עוֹד תְּשׁוּרֶנּוּ מְקוֹמוֹ ׃
7כְּגֶלֲלוֹ לָנֶצַח יֹאבֵד רֹאָיו יֹאמְרוּ אַיּוֹ ׃

9עַיִן שְׁזָפַתּוּ וְלֹא תוֹסִיף וְלֹא־עוֹד תְּשׁוּרֶנּוּ מְקוֹמוֹ ׃
Job 20 records Zophar the Naamathite's second speech, a blistering and poetic declaration of the certain doom awaiting the wicked. Frustrated by Job's refusal to admit sin, Zophar paints a vivid picture of divine judgment: the wicked may prosper briefly, but their joy is fleeting
