The eyes that had seen him, shall see him no more, neither shall his place any more behold him.

The eye which saw him shall see him not again; and his place beholdeth him no more.

The eye hath not seen him, and addeth not. And not again doth his place behold him.

The eye which saw him sees him no longer; and his place has no more knowledge of him.

The eyes that had seen him, will not see him; no longer will his own place admire him.

The eye also which saw him - This is almost exactly the language which Job uses respecting himself. See Job 7:8, note; Job 7:10, note.

The eye also which saw him shall see him no more,.... In this world, concerned in the affairs of life, and busy in worldly employments, and especially in the grandeur he sometimes was, if not removed by death; but the former sense seems most agreeable by what follows,
neither shall his place any more behold him; the men of his place, as Ben Gersom, those that lived in the same place he did; or he shall not be seen, and known, and acknowledged any more as the master, owner, and proprietor of the house he formerly dwelt in; this seems to be taken from Job's own words in Job 7:10. The above Jewish commentator interprets this verse of Pharaoh and the Egyptians, whom Moses and the Israelites would see no more, Exodus 10:29.

Rather "the eye followeth him, but can discern him no more." A sharp-looking is meant (Job 28:7; Job 7:10).
