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

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.

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

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

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 why should I fast when he is dead? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him one day, but he cannot return to me.”

I live in terror now. My honor has blown away in the wind, and my prosperity has vanished like a cloud.

For soon I must go down that road from which I will never return.

“ But when people die, their strength is gone. They breathe their last, and then where are they?As water evaporates from a lake and a river disappears in drought,people are laid to rest and do not rise again. Until the heavens are no more, they will not wake up nor be roused from their sleep.“ I wish you would hide me in the grave and forget me there until your anger has passed. But mark your calendar to think of me again!Can the dead live again? If so, this would give me hope through all my years of struggle, and I would eagerly await the release of death.

before I leave— never to return— for the land of darkness and utter gloom.

All of us must die eventually. Our lives are like water spilled out on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. But God does not just sweep life away; instead, he devises ways to bring us back when we have been separated from him.

He loads the clouds with moisture, and they flash with his lightning.

I said,“ Never again will I see the Lord God while still in the land of the living. Never again will I see my friends or be with those who live in this world.

Such knowledge is higher than the heavens— and who are you? It is deeper than the underworld— what do you know?

Leave me alone so I can smile again before I am gone and exist no more.
