Job 10:19–22 · Berean Standard Bible

19 If only I had never come to be, but had been carried from the womb to the grave.

20 Are my days not few? Withdraw from me, that I may have a little comfort,

21 before I go—never to return— to a land of darkness and gloom,

22 to a land of utter darkness, of deep shadow and disorder, where even the light is like darkness.”
