Job 27:19 Context
17He may prepare it, but the iust shall put it on, and the innocent shall diuide the siluer. 18He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh. 19The rich man shall lie downe, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not: 20Terrours take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night. 21The East winde carieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storme hurleth him out of his place.

Wesley's Notes for Job 27:19
27:19 Lie down - In death. Not gathered - Instead of that honourable interment with his fathers, his carcase shall lie like dung upon the earth. One openeth his eyes - That is, while a man can open his eyes, in the twinkling of an eye. He is as if he had never been, dead and gone, and his family and name extinct with him.
