Job 7:8

Death and loss

6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle; they come to an end without hope.

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

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.

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

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
