Ayub 20:9

20:9 People ¹  who had seen him will not see him again,

and the place where he was

will recognize him no longer.

Mazmur 37:36

37:36 But then one passes by, and suddenly they have disappeared! ² 

I looked for them, but they could not be found.

[20:9]  ¹ tn Heb “the eye that had seen him.” Here a part of the person (the eye, the instrument of vision) is put by metonymy for the entire person.

[37:36]  ² tn Heb “and he passes by and, look, he is not [there].” The subject of the verb “passes by” is probably indefinite, referring to any passerby. Some prefer to change the form to first person, “and I passed by” (cf. NEB; note the first person verbal forms in preceding verse and in the following line).
