Job 7:9

⁷ Remember that my life is but a breath. My eyes will never again see happiness.

⁸ The eye that beholds me will no longer see me. You will look for me, but I will be no more.

As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so he who goes down to Sheol does not come back up.

¹⁰ He never returns to his house; his place remembers him no more.

¹¹ Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
