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
Holman Christian Standard Bible
18 “Why did You bring me out of the womb?(A)
I should have died and never been seen.
19 I wish[a] I had never existed
but had been carried from the womb to the grave.(B)
20 Are my days not few? Stop it![b]
Leave me alone, so that I can smile a little
21 before I go to a land of darkness and gloom,(C)
never to return.
22 It is a land of blackness like the deepest darkness,
gloomy and chaotic,
where even the light is like[c] the darkness.”
