Job 10:20 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Job 10:20

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 ^aAre not my days few?
Cease! ^bLeave me alone, that I may take a little comfort,

21 Before I go to the place from which I shall not return,
^aTo the land of darkness ^band 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.’ ”
