## Job 20:2-3 in Context (Verses 1–6 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/job/20/1) Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
 
 [2 ](/kjv/job/20/2) Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for *this* I make haste.*
 
 [3 ](/kjv/job/20/3) I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/job/20/4) Knowest thou *not* this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
 
 [5 ](/kjv/job/20/5) That the triumphing of the wicked *is* short, and the joy of the hypocrite *but* for a moment?*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/job/20/6) Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;*
