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.

Job 7:6-10
International Standard Version
6 My days pass as swiftly as a hand-loom;
they come to their conclusion without hope.
7 Remember that my life is a breath;
my eyes won’t go back to seeing good things.[a]
8 The eyes of the one who sees me won’t see me anymore;
your eyes will look[b] for me
but I won’t be around![c]
9 As a cloud fades away and vanishes,
the one who descends to the afterlife[d] doesn’t return.[e]
10 He doesn’t return again to his house,
and his place won’t recognize him anymore.”
