Context of Job 20:9
7he perishes forever like his own dung. Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’ 8Like a dream, he flies away and they cannot find him; like a vision of the night, he is chased away. The eye that saw him will not see him again; his place will look on him no more. 10His children must recompense the poor; his own hands must give back his wealth. 11His bones were full of his youthful vigor but it will lie down with him in the dust.
