Job 10:18-22

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁸ ‘^(A)Why then have You brought me out of the womb?
Would that I had died 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 let ^(B)my few days alone?
^[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)deep shadow,
²² The land of utter gloom as darkness itself,
Of deep shadow without order,
And which shines as the darkness.”
