Contextual Overview
1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said, 2 Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, Even by reason of my haste that is in me. 3 I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame; And the spirit of my understanding answers me. 4 Do you [not] know this of old time, Since man was placed on earth, 5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless but for a moment? 6 Though his height mounts up to the heavens, And his head reaches to the clouds; 7 Yet he shall perish forever like his own dung: Those that have seen him shall say, Where is he? 8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: Yes, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night. 9 The eye which saw him shall see him no more; Neither shall his place anymore look at him.

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.
