When a cloud disappears, it’s gone forever. And anyone who goes down to the grave never returns.

云彩消散而过；照样，人下阴间也不再上来。

云彩消散而去；照样，人下阴间也不再上来。

云彩消散而去；照样，人下阴间也不再上来。

人死后一去不返，就像烟消云散；

云彩怎样消散逝去，照样，人下阴间也不再上来。

雲彩消散而過；照樣，人下陰間也不再上來。

雲彩消散而去；照樣，人下陰間也不再上來。

雲彩消散而去；照樣，人下陰間也不再上來。

人死後一去不返，就像煙消雲散；

雲彩怎樣消散逝去，照樣，人下陰間也不再上來。

雲彩消散而過去，人下陰間，也照樣上不來。

如雲消散而沒、人入陰府、亦不復返、

如浮雲散盡、入土者無復返之期。

雲散而沒、如此、下示阿勒示阿勒有譯黃泉有譯陰府有譯墳墓者不復上、

As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so one who goes down to the grave does not return.

As the cloud fades and vanishes, so he who goes down to Sheol does not come up;

Just as a cloud dissipates and vanishes, those who die will not come back.

As a cloud fades away and vanishes, so the one who goes down to Sheol will never rise again.

When a cloud vanishes, it is gone; In the same way one who goes down to Sheol does not come up.

As the cloud disappears and vanishes away, So he who goes down to the grave does not come up.

As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, So he that goeth down to Sheol shall come up no more.

As a cloud fades away and vanishes, so the one who goes down to Sheol will never rise again.

[ As] the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no[ more].

As a cloud is dispersed and then disappears, so the one who goes down to the grave does not come up again.

As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol will come up no more.

But now he’s dead. So why should I continue to go without food? Can I bring him back to life again? Someday I’ll go to him. But he won’t return to me.”

Terrors sweep over me. My honor is driven away as if by the wind. My safety vanishes like a cloud.

“ Only a few years will pass by. Then I’ll take the path of no return.

No man is like that. When he dies, he is buried in a grave. He takes his last breath. Then he is gone.Water dries up from lakes. Riverbeds become empty and dry.In the same way, people lie down and never get up. People won’t wake or rise from their sleep until the heavens are gone.“ I wish you would hide me in a grave! I wish you would cover me up until your anger passes by! I wish you would set the time for me to spend in the grave and then bring me back up!If someone dies, will they live again? All the days of my hard work I will wait for the time when you give me new life.

Turn away before I go to the place I can’t return from. It’s the land of gloom and total darkness.

All of us must die. We are like water spilled on the ground. It can’t be put back into the jar. But that is not what God desires. Instead, he finds a way to bring back anyone who was driven away from him.

He loads the clouds with moisture. He scatters his lightning through them.

I said,“ Lord, I’ll never see you again while I’m still alive. I’ll never see people anymore. I’ll never again be with those who live in this world.

They are higher than the heavens above. What can you do? They are deeper than the deepest parts of the earth below. What can you know?

Leave me alone. Let me enjoy life again before I die.”
