My days are (A)swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
And they come to an end (B)without hope.

“Remember that my life (C)is a mere breath;
My eye will (D)not see goodness again.
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.
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.

  1. Job 7:9 I.e., the netherworld

My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle
    and come to their end without hope.[a](A)

“Remember that my life is a breath;
    my eye will never again see good.(B)
The eye that beholds me will see me no more;
    while your eyes are upon me, I shall be gone.(C)
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)
