"An Appeal for Relief“Why then did you bring me out from the womb? I should have died and no eye would have seen me!"
— Job 10:18, NET Bible
“Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!”
“ Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me. ”
“"'Why, then, have you brought me forth out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.”
“Why didst thou bring me forth out of the womb? O that I had been consumed, that eye might not see me!”
“Why then did you make me come out of my mother's body? It would have been better for me to have taken my last breath, and for no eye to have seen me,”
“Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!”
If I am guilty, woe to me, and if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head; I am full of shame, and satiated with my affliction.
If I lift myself up, you hunt me as a fierce lion, and again you display your power against me.
You bring new witnesses against me, and increase your anger against me; relief troops come against me.
An Appeal for Relief“Why then did you bring me out from the womb? I should have died and no eye would have seen me!
I should have been as though I had never existed; I should have been carried right from the womb to the grave!
Are not my days few? Cease, then, and leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
before I depart, never to return, to the land of darkness and the deepest shadow,
