Job 20:8 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

As a dream; which for the present makes a great show and noise, and highly affects the fancy, but hath nothing solid nor permanent in it; for as soon as the man awakes all vanisheth, and the remembrance of it is quickly lost. Shall not be found; the man will be utterly lost and gone, together with all his riches and glory. As a vision of the night; which appears to a man in the night and in his sleep.

Job 20:8

8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
