Job 7:9

“As a cloud vanishes and is gone,
So he who goes down to Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) does not come up.

2 Samuel 12:23

But now he is dead; why should I [continue to] fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him [when I die], but he will not return to me.”

They chase away my honor and reputation like the wind,
And my prosperity has passed away like a cloud.

To the land of darkness and the deep shadow [of death],

Man breathes his last, and where is he?

I shall go the way of no return.

He disperses the cloud of His lightning.

Before I depart and am no more.”

The Lord in the land of the living;
I will no longer see man among the inhabitants of the world.
