Job11:20
20. A warning to Job, if he would not turn to God.
The wicked--that is, obdurate sinners.
eyes ... fail--that is, in vain look for relief (De 28:65). Zophar implies Job's only hope of relief is in a change of heart.
they shall not escape--literally, "every refuge shall vanish from them."
giving up of the ghost--Their hope shall leave them as the breath does the body (Pr 11:7).
