Bible verse
As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so he who goes down to Sheol does not come back up.
Job 7:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 7.
5 My flesh is clothed with worms and encrusted with dirt; my skin is cracked and festering.
6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle; they come to an end without hope.
7 Remember that my life is but a breath. My eyes will never again see happiness.
8 The eye that beholds me will no longer see me. You will look for me, but I will be no more.
9 As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so he who goes down to Sheol does not come back up.
10 He never returns to his house; his place remembers him no more.
11 Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Am I the sea, or the monster of the deep, that You must keep me under guard?
13 When I think my bed will comfort me and my couch will ease my complaint,
