John Trapp on Job 20:8

Verſe 8. He ſhall flee away as a dream, &c.] As a delightful dream is ſoon forgotten; ſo ſhall it he with the hypocrite. His felicity is meerly imaginary, his joy is but as the commotion of the affections in a dream, which comes to nothing, Iſai. 20.7, 8. A man that is to be hanged next day, may dream over night he ſhall be a King. A man that ſleepeth upon a ſteep Rock, may dream of great poſſeſſions befalne him, and ſtarting for joy, may fall to the bottom, and miſchieve himſelf, Pſal. 73.20. As a dream when one awaketh, ſo. O Lord, when thou awakeſt, thou ſhalt deſpise their image; that is, their painted pageant of outward pomp. Surely ſuch, of all men, walk in a vain ſhew, or in an image, Pſal. 39, 6. their ſeeming proſperity hath no tack conſiſtence in it, themſelves and their money periſh together, Act. 8.20.

Yea, he ſhall be chaſed away.] By the diſpleaſure of Almighty God, he ſhall be driven or rather kickt out of the world.

As a viſion of the night.] Phaſma five Phantaſma, which paſſes ſooner out of memory, and is more tranſient then a day viſion.
