Job 10:18-22
21st Century King James Version
18 Why then hast Thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Are not my days few? Cease then and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little
21 before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death”
22 a land of darkness, as darkness itself, and of the shadow of death without any order, and where the light is as darkness.’”

Job 10:18-22
American Standard Version
18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb?
I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me.
19 I should have been as though I had not been;
I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Are not my days few? [a]cease then,
And let me alone, that I may [b]take comfort a little,
21 Before I go whence I shall not return,
Even to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
22 The land dark as [c]midnight,
The land of the shadow of death, without any order,
And where the light is as [d]midnight.
Job 10:18-22
New International Version
18 “Why then did you bring me out of the womb?(A)
I wish I had died before any eye saw me.(B)
19 If only I had never come into being,
or had been carried straight from the womb to the grave!(C)
20 Are not my few days(D) almost over?(E)
Turn away from me(F) so I can have a moment’s joy(G)
21 before I go to the place of no return,(H)
to the land of gloom and utter darkness,(I)
22 to the land of deepest night,
of utter darkness(J) and disorder,
where even the light is like darkness.”(K)
