Exegesis
The inversion in the second clause, where teshurennu precedes mekomo {מְקוֹמוֹ | mə-qō-mô}, highlights the fate of his dwelling. The two lines form synonymous parallelism (eye vs. place; see vs. behold), reinforcing total removal from sight and locality.
In context — Job 20:9
The eye that saw him will never see him again; his place will behold him no more.
