Job 9:11

I see him not. A sharp line divides the visible and invisible worlds; and this line is rarely crossed. Job possibly reflects upon the claim of Eliphaz to have had a physical consciousness of the visitation of a spirit (Job 4:15, 16), and asserts that it is otherwise with him — the spirit world passes by him, and he receives no light, no illumination, no miraculous direction from it. Passeth on. Heb. chalaph, the same verb that Eliphaz used (Job 4:15) when speaking of his spirit visitation. I perceive him not. Eliphaz declared that he had a vivid perception of the presence of the spirit (Job 4:15, 16), and heard its voice (Job 4:16-21). Job here indicates that he had not been thus favored.
