"Will not my few days be completed soon? Release me, therefore, so that I may lament my sorrows a little, "
— Job 10:20, Catholic Public Domain Version
“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 the days of my life small in number? Let your eyes be turned away from me, so that I may have a little pleasure,”
“Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,”
You renew your testimony against me, and you multiply your wrath against me, and these punishments make war within me.
Why did you lead me out of the womb? If only I had been consumed, so that no eye would ever see me!
I should have been as if I had not been: transferred from the womb to the tomb.
Will not my few days be completed soon? Release me, therefore, so that I may lament my sorrows a little,
before I depart and return no more to a land that is dark and covered with the fog of death,
a land of misery and darkness, where the shadow of death, and nothing else but everlasting horror, dwells.
