Job7:8

8. The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not .

In this mortall state: I shall never return to this life again.

Either, 1. If thou doest but cast one angry look upon me, I am not, i. e. I am a dead man. So that phrase is used, Gen. 5. 24. & 42. 13. & 44. 20. Psal. 103. 16. Ier. 31. 15. Or, 2. When thine Eyes shall be upon me, (i. e. when thou shalt look for me to do me good, thou wilt find that) I am not, that I am dead and gone, and uncapable of that bounty and goodness which thou givest to men in this world▪ Comp. v. 21. Psal. 10. 15. Ier. 50. 20.
