Context of Job 20:9
7he will vanish forever like his own dung. Those who know him will ask, “Where is he?” 8He will fly away like a dream and never be found; he will be chased away like a vision in the night. The eye that saw him will see him no more, and his household will no longer see him. 10His children will beg from the poor, for his own hands must give back his wealth. 11His frame may be full of youthful vigor, but it will lie down with him in dust.
