約伯記 20:8 Meaning and Commentary

Job 20:8

He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found
Either as a dream which is forgotten, as Nebuchadnezzar's was, and cannot be recovered; or as the matter and substance of a dream, which, though remembered, is a mere illusion; as when a hungry or thirsty man dreams he eats or drinks, but, awaking, finds himself empty, and not at all refreshed; what he fancied is fled and gone F13, and indeed never had any existence but in his imagination, ( Isaiah 29:8 ) ;

yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night;
either the same as a nocturnal dream, or what a man fancies he sees in his dream; or like a mere spectre or apparition, which is a mere phantom, and, when followed and pursued, vanishes and disappears; so such a man before described is chased out of the world, and is seen in it no more, see ( Job 18:18 ) ; the first clause, according to Sephorno, refers to the generation of the flood, and the second to the slaying of the firstborn of Egypt in the night.

約伯記 20:8 In-Context

6 他 的 尊 榮 雖 達 到 天 上 , 頭 雖 頂 到 雲 中 ,
7 他 終 必 滅 亡 , 像 自 己 的 糞 一 樣 ; 素 來 見 他 的 人 要 說 : 他 在 哪 裡 呢 ?
8 他 必 飛 去 如 夢 , 不 再 尋 見 , 速 被 趕 去 , 如 夜 間 的 異 象 。
9 親 眼 見 過 他 的 , 必 不 再 見 他 ; 他 的 本 處 也 再 見 不 著 他 。
10 他 的 兒 女 要 求 窮 人 的 恩 ; 他 的 手 要 賠 還 不 義 之 財 。
