Job 10:18-22
World English Bible
18 “‘Why, then, have you brought me out of the womb?
I wish I had given up the spirit, 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 Aren’t my days few?
Stop!
Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
21 before I go where I will not return from,
to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
22 the land dark as midnight,
of the shadow of death,
without any order,
where the light is as midnight.’”
Job 10:18-22
New Living Translation
18 “‘Why, then, did you deliver me from my mother’s womb?
Why didn’t you let me die at birth?
19 It would be as though I had never existed,
going directly from the womb to the grave.
20 I have only a few days left, so leave me alone,
that I may have a moment of comfort
21 before I leave—never to return—
for the land of darkness and utter gloom.
22 It is a land as dark as midnight,
a land of gloom and confusion,
where even the light is dark as 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)
