Job 7:6-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 “Remember that my life is a breath;
my eye will never again see good.(B)
8 The eye that beholds me will see me no more;
while your eyes are upon me, I shall be gone.(C)
9 As the cloud fades and vanishes,
so those who go down to Sheol do not come up;(D)
10 they return no more to their houses,
nor do their places know them any more.(E)

Job 7:6-10
Common English Bible
6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle;
they reach their end without hope.[a]
7 Remember that my life is wind;
my eyes won’t see pleasure again.
8 The eye that sees me now will no longer look on me;
your eyes will be on me, and I won’t exist.
9 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.
