Job 20:9

9 oculus qui eum viderat non videbit neque ultra intuebitur eum locus suus

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 quasi sterquilinium in fine perdetur et qui eum viderant dicent ubi est
8 velut somnium avolans non invenietur transiet sicut visio nocturna
9 oculus qui eum viderat non videbit neque ultra intuebitur eum locus suus
10 filii eius adterentur egestate et manus illius reddent ei dolorem suum
11 ossa eius implebuntur vitiis adulescentiae eius et cum eo in pulverem dormient
