Job 7:8

The eye of him who beholds me (present, not past), that is, in the very act of beholding me, seeth me no more.

Thine eyes are upon me, and I am not—He disappears, even while God is looking upon him. Job cannot survive the gaze of Jehovah (Psalms 104:32; Revelation 20:11). Not, "Thine eyes seek me and I am not to be found"; for God's eye penetrates even to the unseen world (Psalms 139:8). UMBREIT unnaturally takes "thine" to refer to one of the three friends.
