Job 10:18-22

Modern English Version

¹⁸ “Why then did You bring me forth out of the womb?
    Oh, that I had died, 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? Stop then,
    and leave me alone that I may cheer up a little,
²¹ before I go and do not return,
    even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death,
²² a land of darkness, as darkness itself;
    and of the shadow of death, without any order,
    and where the light is as thick darkness.”
