Job 7:9-11
New Catholic Bible

9 As a cloud vanishes and is no more,
    so the one who descends to the netherworld[a] will never come up again.
10 He will never again return to his home,
    nor will he be remembered anymore.
11 “Therefore, I will not restrain my mouth.
    I will speak out in my anguish of spirit,
    and I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

Footnotes

  1. Job 7:9 Netherworld: this is the first explicit allusion to the great subterranean pit where the dead are gathered together. Job speaks of it according to the opinion in his day. It is no longer the sojourn of repose (Job 3:13-19), but a place from which one “will never again return,” or where one is separated from his home, his family, and even his God.
