Does Job 7:9 contradict the Bible’s teaching about resurrection? I.e. had Job given up hope? (7:8–10)

 The Scriptures teach that all people will be raised corporally from the tomb (cf. Dan. 12:2; 1 Cor. 15:22; Rev. 20:4–6). In fact, Jesus said that one day “all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth” (John 5:28–29). But Job seems to say just the opposite, when he penned: “he who goes down to the grave does not come up” (cf. also Job 14:12; Isa. 26:14; Amos 8:14).

Job 7:9

NKJV - 9 As the cloud disappears and vanishes away, So he who goes down to the grave does not come up.

No, Job had not given up. He trusted in God to take care of him and his family and he knew that it was a test.
