Job 20:4
Do you not know that from antiquity, since man was placed on the earth,
BSB
ASV
Knowest thou not this of old time, Since man was placed upon earth,
KJV
Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
Knowest thou not this of old - This is a maxim as ancient as the world; it began with the first man: A wicked man shall triumph but a short time; God will destroy the proud doer. Since man was placed upon earth - Literally, since Adam was placed on the earth; that is, since the fall, wickedness and hypocrisy have existed; but they have never triumphed long. Thou hast lately been expressing confidence in reference to a general judgment; but such is thy character, that thou hast little reason to anticipate with any joy the decisions of that day.
