Context of Job 20:9

7Yet he perishes forever like his own refuse; Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’ 8He flies away like a dream and cannot be found; Yes, he is chased away like a vision of the night. The eye which saw him sees him no longer, Neither does his [accustomed] place behold him any longer. 10His sons favor the poor [and pay his obligations], And his hands give back his [ill-gotten] wealth. 11His bones are full of youthful strength But it lies down with him in the dust.
