Job 7:8

The eye of him who sees me now will see me no more; ¹  your eyes will look for me, but I will be gone. ² 

Job 7:21; Job 13:27; Job 14:3; Job 20:9; Ps 37:36; Ps 39:11; Ps 90:8,9

¹ sn The meaning of the verse is that God will relent, but it will be too late. God now sees him with a hostile eye; when he looks for him, or looks upon him in friendliness, it will be too late.

² tn This verse is omitted in the LXX and so by several commentators. But the verb שׁוּר (shur, “turn, return”) is so characteristic of Job (10 times) that the verse seems appropriate here.
