Job 7:10
8 The eye that beholds me will no longer see me. You will look for me, but I will be no more.
9 As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so he who goes down to Sheol does not come back up.
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.
12 Am I the sea, or the monster of the deep, that You must keep me under guard?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
