Job 15:19

Judgment

17 Listen to me and I will inform you. I will describe what I have seen,

18 what was declared by wise men and was not concealed from their fathers,

to whom alone the land was given when no foreigner passed among them.

20 A wicked man writhes in pain all his days; only a few years are reserved for the ruthless.

21 Sounds of terror fill his ears; in his prosperity the destroyer attacks him.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
