Job asserts that his days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle and that they end without hope, suggesting that his life is passing with speed but toward no purpose or fulfillment. The image of the weaver's shuttle evokes the relentless forward motion of the loom; life moves forward but accomplishes nothing of value. The phrase 'without hope' indicates that the rapid passage of days leads only toward death.
