Job 7:10

“He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.”

The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.

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

He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.

Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Sheol / The Grave

The verse speaks of a person not returning to their house or being known in their place, which could simply refer to a permanent absence or departure, not necessarily death or the state of the dead in a grave. It describes a social or physical absence, not explicitly a state of being in Sheol.

Whole-Person Death

The verse describes a permanent absence from earthly life and home, but it does not explicitly state anything about the state of consciousness or existence of the person after death, which could be interpreted as a separation of body and soul.
