Bible in Basic English
"Are not the days of my life small in number? Let your eyes be turned away from me, so that I may have a little pleasure,"
— Job 10:20, Bible in Basic English
“Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,”
“Are not my days few? cease then, And let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, ”
“Aren't my days few? Cease then. Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,”
“Are not my days few? Cease, then, and leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,”
“Shall not the fewness of my days be ended shortly? Suffer me, therefore, that I may lament my sorrow a little:”
“Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,”
That you would send new witnesses against me, increasing your wrath against me, and letting loose new armies on 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,
And for me to have been as if I had not been; to have been taken from my mother's body straight to my last resting-place.
Are not the days of my life small in number? Let your eyes be turned away from me, so that I may have a little pleasure,
Before I go to the place from which I will not come back, to the land where all is dark and black,
A land of thick dark, without order, where the very light is dark.
