New International Version NIV
19 and were as though I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave.
19
If only I had never come into being, or had been carried straight from the womb to the grave!
20 Are not the days of my life few? Let me alone, that I may find a little comfort
20
Are not my few days almost over? Turn away from me so I can have a moment’s joy
21 before I go, never to return, to the land of gloom and deep darkness,
21
before I go to the place of no return, to the land of gloom and utter darkness,
22 the land of gloom and chaos, where light is like darkness."
22
to the land of deepest night, of utter darkness and disorder, where even the light is like darkness.”
