Job 10:18-22
English Standard Version
18 (A)“Why did you bring me out from the womb?
Would that I had died before any eye had seen me
19 (B)and were as though I had not been,
carried from the womb to the grave.
20 (C)Are not my days few?
(D)Then cease, and leave me alone, (E)that I may find a little cheer
21 before I go—and (F)I shall not return—
to the land of (G)darkness and (H)deep shadow,
22 the land of gloom like thick darkness,
like deep shadow without any order,
where light is as thick darkness.”
Job 10:18-22
Lexham English Bible
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.’”
