Read in context

Job 20:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 he will perish forever, like his own dung; those who had seen him will ask, ‘Where is he?’

8 He will fly away like a dream, never to be found; he will be chased away like a vision in the night.

9 The eye that saw him will see him no more, and his place will no longer behold him.

10 His sons will seek the favor of the poor, for his own hands must return his wealth.

11 The youthful vigor that fills his bones will lie down with him in the dust.
