Job 7:7-10

Job Continues: My Life Has No Hope

7 "Remember that my life is a e breath;
my eye will never again see good.
8 f The eye of him who sees me will behold me no more;
while your eyes are on me, g I shall be gone.
9 As h the cloud fades and vanishes,
so he who i goes down to Sheol does not come up;
10 he j returns no more to his house,
nor does his k place know him anymore.
