Contextual Overview
1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered: 2 "My troubled thoughts cause me to answer, because I am very upset. 3 You correct me and I am insulted, but I understand how to answer you. 4 "You know how it has been for a long time, ever since people were first put on the earth. 5 The happiness of evil people is brief, and the joy of the wicked lasts only a moment. 6 Their pride may be as high as the heavens, and their heads may touch the clouds, 7 but they will be gone forever, like their own dung. People who knew them will say, ‘Where are they?' 8 They will fly away like a dream and not be found again; they will be chased away like a vision in the night. 9 Those who saw them will not see them again; the places where they lived will see them no more.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The eye also [which] saw him shall [see him] no more,.... In this world, concerned in the affairs of life, and busy in worldly employments, and especially in the grandeur he sometimes was, if not removed by death; but the former sense seems most agreeable by what follows,
neither shall his place any more behold him; the men of his place, as Ben Gersom, those that lived in the same place he did; or he shall not be seen, and known, and acknowledged any more as the master, owner, and proprietor of the house he formerly dwelt in; this seems to be taken from Job's own words in Job 7:10. The above Jewish commentator interprets this verse of Pharaoh and the Egyptians, whom Moses and the Israelites would see no more, Exodus 10:29.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The eye also which saw him - This is almost exactly the language which Job uses respecting himself. See Job 7:8, note; Job 7:10, note.
