Job 10:18-22

Living Bible

¹⁸ “‘Why then did you even let me be born? Why didn’t you let me die at birth? ¹⁹ Then I would have been spared this miserable existence. I would have gone directly from the womb to the grave. ^20-21 Can’t you see how little time I have left? Oh, leave me alone that I may have a little moment of comfort before I leave for the land of darkness and the shadow of death, never to return— ²² a land as dark as midnight, a land of the shadow of death where only confusion reigns and where the brightest light is dark as midnight.’”
