Job 7:6-10
New American Standard Bible
7 “Remember that my life (C)is a mere breath;
My eye will (D)not see goodness again.
8 The (E)eye of him who sees me will no longer look at me;
Your eyes will be on me, but (F)I will not exist.
9 When a (G)cloud vanishes, it is gone;
In the same way (H)one who goes down to [a](I)Sheol does not come up.
10 He will not return to his house again,
Nor will (J)his place know about him anymore.

New Living Translation
Job Cries Out to God
6 “My days fly faster than a weaver’s shuttle.
They end without hope.
7 O God, remember that my life is but a breath,
and I will never again feel happiness.
8 You see me now, but not for long.
You will look for me, but I will be gone.
9 Just as a cloud dissipates and vanishes,
those who die[a] will not come back.
10 They are gone forever from their home—
never to be seen again.
