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

Eine Wolke vergeht und fährt dahin: also, wer in die Hölle hinunterfährt, kommt nicht wieder herauf
La nube se consume, y se va: Así el que desciende al sepulcro no subirá;
Como una nube que se desvanece y pasa, así el que baja al Seol no vuelve a subir.
Comme la nuée se dissipe et s'en va, Celui qui descend au séjour des morts ne remontera pas;
Come la nuvola si dilegua, e se ne va via; Così chi scende nel sepolcro non ne salirà più fuori.
Assim como a nuvem se desfaz e passa, assim aquele que desce à sepultura nunca tornará a subir.
雲彩消散而去; 照樣,人下陰間也不再上來。
