Context of Job 20:9

7Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: They that have seen him shall say, Where is he? 8He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: Yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night. The eye which saw him shall see him no more; Neither shall his place any more behold him. 10His children shall seek the favor of the poor, And his hands shall give back his wealth. 11His bones are full of his youth, But it shall lie down with him in the dust.
