Exegesis
The verbal form shezafatu {שְׁזָפַתּוּ | šə-zā-p̄a-ṯû} ‘saw him’ conveys a completed action, while the imperfects tosif {תוֹסִיף | tô-sîp̄} ‘will add’ and teshurennu {תְּשׁוּרֶנּוּ | tə-šū-ren-nū} ‘will behold him’ with the paired negations velo {וְלֹא | wə-lōʾ} and velo-od {וְלֹא־עוֹד | wə-lōʾ-ʿôḏ} signal irreversible non-repetition.
In context — Job 20:9
The eye that saw him will never see him again; his place will behold him no more.
