Context of Job 20:9

7he will certainly rot like his own feces. Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’ 8He will fly away like a dream and not be found. He will be chased away like a vision in the night. Eyes that saw him will see him no more. His home will not look at him again. 10His children will have to ask the poor for help. His own hands will have to give back his wealth. 11His bones, once full of youthful vigor, will lie down with him in the dust.
