Job 10:18-22
New American Standard Bible
18 ‘(A)Why then did You bring me out of the womb?
If only I had died and no eye had seen me!
19 I should have been as though I had not been,
Brought from womb to tomb.’
20 Would He not leave (B)my few days alone?
[a](C)Withdraw from me so that I may have a little cheerfulness
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 like darkness itself,
Of deep shadow without order,
And it shines like 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.’”
