Job 10:18-22

International Children’s Bible

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.”
