Job 20:8 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night. He shall fly away as a dream - Instead of rising again from corruption, as thou hast asserted, (Job 19:26), with a new body, his flesh shall rot in the earth, and his spirit be dissipated like a vapor; and, like a vision of the night, nothing shall remain but the bare impression that such a creature had once existed, but shall appear no more for ever.

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.
