Context of Job 20:9

7Like his own dung doth he perish for ever; they which have seen him shall say, Where is he? 8He flieth away as a dream, and is not found; and is chased away as a vision of the night. The eye which saw him shall [see him] not again; and his place beholdeth him no more. 10His children shall seek the favour of the poor, and his hands restore his wealth. 11His bones were full of his youthful strength; but it shall lie down with him in the dust.
