18 So why did you bring me forth from the womb? I should have passed away, and no eye should have seen me.
19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been brought from the womb to the grave.
20 Are not my days few? Let him leave me alone; let him turn from me, and let me rejoice a little.
21 Before I go—and I will not return— to the land of darkness and deep shadow,
22 to the land of darkness, like the darkness of a deep shadow and chaos, so that it shines forth like darkness.’ ”
