Job 20:4-10

The prosperity of the wicked is brief

4. Knowest thou not this old i. e. knowest thou not this to be or to have been of old, lit. from for ever. "This" which is from of old and from the time man has been upon the earth is the fact that the felicity of the wicked is brief (Job 20:5). On "hypocrite" see ch. Job 8:13.
