9 The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
9 The eye that saw him will not see him again; his place will look on him no more.
9 The eye that saw him will see him no more, nor will his place any more behold him.
9 Though once notorious public figures, now they're nobodies, unnoticed, whether they come or go.
9 The eye that saw him will see him no more, Nor will his place behold him anymore.
9 Those who once saw them will see them no more. Their families will never see them again.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 20:9
Commentary on Job 20:1-9
(Read Job 20:1-9)
Zophar's discourse is upon the certain misery of the wicked. The triumph of the wicked and the joy of the hypocrite are fleeting. The pleasures and gains of sin bring disease and pain; they end in remorse, anguish, and ruin. Dissembled piety is double iniquity, and the ruin that attends it will be accordingly.
