Job 10:18
Compare all
16 If my head is exalted,
aYou hunt me like a fierce lion,
And again You show Yourself awesome against me. 
17 You renew Your witnesses against me,
And increase Your indignation toward me;
Changes and war are ever with me.
18 ‘Whya 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,
