My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle;
    they reach their end without hope.[a]
Remember that my life is wind;
    my eyes won’t see pleasure again.
The eye that sees me now will no longer look on me;
    your eyes will be on me, and I won’t exist.
A cloud breaks apart and moves on—
    like the one who descends to the grave[b] and won’t rise,
10         won’t return home again,
        won’t be recognized in town anymore.
