Job 10:16-22

16 If I have any success at all, you hunt me down like a lion; to hurt me you even work miracles.

16 If I hold my head high, you stalk me like a lion and again display your awesome power against me.

17 You always have some witness against me; your anger toward me grows and grows; you always plan some new attack.

17 You bring new witnesses against me and increase your anger toward me; your forces come against me wave upon wave.

18 Why, God, did you let me be born? I should have died before anyone saw me.

18 “Why then did you bring me out of the womb? I wish I had died before any eye saw me.

19 To go from the womb straight to the grave would have been as good as never existing.

19 If only I had never come into being, or had been carried straight from the womb to the grave!

20 Isn't my life almost over? Leave me alone! Let me enjoy the time I have left.

20 Are not my few days almost over? Turn away from me so I can have a moment’s joy

21 I am going soon and will never come back - going to a land that is dark and gloomy,

21 before I go to the place of no return, to the land of gloom and utter darkness,

22 a land of darkness, shadows, and confusion, where the light itself is darkness.

22 to the land of deepest night, of utter darkness and disorder, where even the light is like darkness.”
