“The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.”
Job asserts that the eye that sees him now will not see him again and that God's eyes will seek him but he will not be, using the imagery of disappearance through death. The vision of divine seeking for one who no longer exists creates a poignant image of irreversible separation. Job's insistence on the finality of death emphasizes that time is running out.
