Job 20:5

20:5 that the elation of the wicked is brief,

the joy of the godless lasts but a moment.

Psalms 37:10

37:10 Evil men will soon disappear;

you will stare at the spot where they once were, but they will be gone.

Psalms 37:35-36

37:35 I have seen ruthless evil men

growing in influence, like a green tree grows in its native soil.

37:36 But then one passes by, and suddenly they have disappeared!

I looked for them, but they could not be found.

Psalms 73:19

73:19 How desolate they become in a mere moment!

Terrifying judgments make their demise complete!

Psalms 92:7

92:7 When the wicked sprout up like grass,

and all the evildoers glisten,

it is so that they may be annihilated.

James 1:11

1:11 For the sun rises with its heat and dries up the meadow; the petal of the flower falls off and its beauty is lost forever. So also the rich person in the midst of his pursuits will wither away.

James 5:1-3

Warning to the Rich

5:1 Come now, you rich! Weep and cry aloud over the miseries that are coming on you. 5:2 Your riches have rotted and your clothing has become moth-eaten. 5:3 Your gold and silver have rusted and their rust will be a witness against you. It will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have hoarded treasure!
