18 So[a] why did you bring me forth from the womb?
I should have passed away, and no eye should have seen me.[b]
19 I should have been as though I had not been;
I should have been brought from the womb to the grave.
20 Are not my days few? Let him leave me alone;
let him turn from me, and let me rejoice a little.
21 Before I go—and I will not return—
to the land of darkness and deep shadow,
22 to the land of darkness,
like the darkness of a deep shadow and chaos,[c]
so that[d] it shines forth like darkness.’”
