Job 20:9

9 L'œil qui l'a vu ne le verra plus, et son lieu ne l'apercevra plus.

Job 20:9 Meaning and Commentary

Job 20:9

The eye also [which] saw him shall [see him] no more
In this world, concerned in the affairs of life, and busy in worldly employments, and especially in the grandeur he sometimes was, if not removed by death; but the former sense seems most agreeable by what follows,

neither shall his place any more behold him;
the men of his place, as Ben Gersom, those that lived in the same place he did; or he shall not be seen, and known, and acknowledged any more as the master, owner, and proprietor of the house he formerly dwelt in; this seems to be taken from Job's own words in ( Job 7:10 ) . The above Jewish commentator interprets this verse of Pharaoh and the Egyptians, whom Moses and the Israelites would see no more, ( Exodus 10:29 ) ( 14:13 ) .

Job 20:9 In-Context

7 Il périra pour toujours, comme son ordure; ceux qui le voyaient diront: Où est-il?

8 Il s'envolera comme un songe, et on ne le trouvera plus; il s'évanouira comme un rêve de la nuit.

9 L'œil qui l'a vu ne le verra plus, et son lieu ne l'apercevra plus.

10 Ses enfants feront la cour aux pauvres, et ses propres mains restitueront ses biens.

11 Ses os sont pleins de jeunesse, mais elle reposera avec lui dans la poussière.
