18 “So why did you allow me to be born?
    I wish I had died before anyone saw me.
19 I wish I had never been born.
    Or I wish I had been carried straight from birth to the grave!
20 My few days of life are almost over.
    Leave me alone so I can have a moment of joy.
21 Soon I will leave and not return.
    I will go to the land of darkness and gloom.
22 It is the land of darkest night.
    It is the land of gloom and confusion.
    Even the light is darkness there.”
