Job 10:18-22
New King James Version
18 ‘Why(A) then have You brought me out of the womb?
Oh, that I had perished and no eye had seen me!
19 I would have been as though I had not been.
I would have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 (B)Are not my days few?
Cease! (C)Leave me alone, that I may take a little comfort,
21 Before I go to the place from which I shall not return,
(D)To the land of darkness (E)and the shadow of death,
22 A land as dark as darkness itself,
As the shadow of death, without any order,
Where even the light is like darkness.’ ”
Job 10:18-22
American Standard Version
18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb?
I had given up the ghost, 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? [a]cease then,
And let me alone, that I may [b]take comfort a little,
21 Before I go whence I shall not return,
Even to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
22 The land dark as [c]midnight,
The land of the shadow of death, without any order,
And where the light is as [d]midnight.
