Job 7:9

“[As] the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, etc.] Which being dispersed by the wind, or broke up by the sun, is never seen, or returns more; for though the wise man speaks of clouds returning after the rain, this is not to be understood of the same clouds, but of succeeding ones, (<211202>Ecclesiastes 12:2); so pardon of sin is expressed by the same metaphor, to show that sin thereby is no more, no more to be seen or remembered, (<234325>Isaiah 43:25 44:22); the Targum renders it “as smoke”, by which the shortness and consumption of men’s days are expressed, (<19A203>Psalm 102:3); but by the simile of a cloud here is not so much designed the sudden disappearance of life as the…”

“(Sa2 12:23). the grave--the Sheol, or place of departed spirits, not disproving Job's belief in the resurrection. It merely means, "He shall come up no more" in the present order of things.”

“As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away - This image is taken from the light and fleecy clouds, which become smaller and smaller until they wholly vanish. For an illustration of a similar phrase, see the notes at Isaiah 44:22. To the grave - - שׁאול she'ôl. Septuagint, εἰς ᾅδην eis hadēn, to Hades. The word may mean grave, or the place of departed spirits; see Isaiah 5:14, note; Isaiah 14:9, note; compare the notes at Job 10:21-22. Either signification will apply here. Shall come up no more - Shall no more live on the earth. It would be pressing this too far to adduce it as proving that Job did not believe in the doctrine of the resurrection. The connection here requires us to…”

“No more - Never until the general resurrection. When we see a cloud which looked great, as if it would eclipse the sun, of a sudden dispersed and disappearing, say, Just such a thing is the life of man, a vapour that appears for a while and then vanisheth away. Job 7:10”

“7:9 die (literally go down to Sheol): This is the first explicit mention of Sheol in Job. It is described as a place of rest from earthly pressures and distinctions (3:13-19) and as a dark dwelling place (10:21-22; 17:13) deep in the earth (11:8) that is covered in dust (17:16). It is the destiny of all the living (30:23) from which no one can return (10:21; see Gen 37:25; 2 Sam 12:12).”

“the cloud: Job 37:11 he: Job 10:21, Job 14:10-14, Job 16:22; Sa2 12:23, Sa2 14:14; Psa 39:13; Isa 38:11 Job 7:10”
