Job 7:9

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

KJV

Sicut consumitur nubes, et pertransit, sic qui descenderit ad inferos, non ascendet.

Vulgate

ὥσπερ νέφος ἀποκαθαρθὲν ἀπ’ οὐρανοῦ. ἐὰν γὰρ ἄνθρωπος καταβῇ εἰς ᾅδην, οὐκ ἔτι μὴ ἀναβῇ,

LXX

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