Job 10:18-22

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁸ Why, then, did you bring me out from the womb?
I wish I had died. Then no eye would have seen me.
¹⁹ I wish I had been like someone who never lived.
Then I would have been carried from the womb to the tomb.
²⁰ Don’t I have only a few days?
Stop! Leave me alone, so that I can be happy for a short time,
²¹ before I walk into the land of darkness
and into the shadow of death, never to return,
²² into the land of gloom, as dark as the shadow of death,
into the land of chaos, where even light is darkness.
