“Remember that my life (A)is a mere breath;
My eye will (B)not see goodness again.
The (C)eye of him who sees me will no longer look at me;
Your eyes will be on me, but (D)I will not exist.
When a (E)cloud vanishes, it is gone;
In the same way (F)one who goes down to [a](G)Sheol does not come up.
10 He will not return to his house again,
Nor will (H)his place know about him anymore.

10 He will never come to his house again;
    his place(G) will know him no more.(H)
