Job 10:18-22
Legacy Standard Bible
18 ‘(A)Why then have You brought me out of the womb?
Would that I had breathed my last and no eye had seen me!
19 I should have been as though I had not been,
Carried from womb to tomb.’
20 Would He not cease (B)for a few of my days?
[a](C)Withdraw from me that I may have a little cheer
21 Before I go—(D)and I shall not return—
(E)To the land of darkness and (F)shadow of death,
22 The land of utter gloom as the thick darkness itself,
Of the shadow of death, without order,
And which shines as the thick 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.
