18 “‘Why did you take me out of the womb?I wish I had breathed my last breathbefore anyone had laid eyes on me.
19 Then it would be as if I had never existed,as if I had been carried from the womb to the tomb.
20 “‘Isn’t my life short enough?So stop ⌊this⌋, and leave me alone.Let me smile a little
21 before I go awayto a land of darkness and gloom,
22 to a dismal land of long shadows and confusionwhere light is as bright as darkness.I’ll never return.’ ”
