"The eye which saw him shall see him no more; Neither shall his place any more behold him." — Job 20:9 (ASV)
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) .
