Job 7:6-10
English Standard Version
7 “Remember that my life is a (C)breath;
my eye will never again see good.
8 (D)The eye of him who sees me will behold me no more;
while your eyes are on me, (E)I shall be gone.
9 As (F)the cloud fades and vanishes,
so he who (G)goes down to Sheol does not come up;
10 he (H)returns no more to his house,
nor does his (I)place know him anymore.
Job 7:6-10
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.
