Job 7:9

²¹before I go where I will not return from, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

¹⁴For we must die, and are like water spilled on the ground, which can’t be gathered up again; neither does God take away life, but devises means, that he who is banished not be an outcast from him.

¹⁵Terrors have turned on me. They chase my honor as the wind. My welfare has passed away as a cloud.

²²For when a few years have come, I will go the way of no return.

²³But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”

¹⁰But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he? ¹¹As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes and dries up, ¹²so man lies down and doesn’t rise. Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep. ¹³“Oh that you would hide me in Sheol,^[+] that you would keep me secret until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time and remember me! ¹⁴If a man dies, will he live again? I would wait all the days of my warfare, until my release should come.

¹³Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go away and exist no more.”

¹¹Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.

¹¹I said, “I won’t see the LORD,^[+] the LORD^[+] in the land of the living. I will see man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

⁸They are high as heaven. What can you do? They are deeper than Sheol.^[+] What can you know?
