Exegesis
The participle roʾayw {רֹאָיו | rōʾāyw} ‘those seeing him’ acts as the subject of the second clause, followed by the imperfect yoməru {יֹאמְרוּ | yōʾmərû} ‘they will say,’ which introduces the rhetorical inquiry encapsulated by ʾayyô {אַיּוֹ | ʾayyô} ‘where is he?’ This question underscores the thoroughness of his removal and invites reflection on his vanished presence.
In context — Job 20:7
Like his own dung he will perish forever ; those who once saw him will ask, “Where is he?”
