Job 7:8

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

Job 7:8 belongs to Job's answer to Eliphaz, forming part of his justification of his complaints. It follows Eliphaz's speech in which he urged Job not to despise the chastening of God. In it Job voices his fear that the eye of the one who has seen him will see him no more. He speaks as one near death, expecting soon to cease to be present among the living.
