"before I depart and return no more to a land that is dark and covered with the fog of death, "
— Job 10:21, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;”
“Before I go whence I shall not return, Evento the land of darkness and of the shadow of death; ”
“before I go where I shall not return from, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;”
“before I depart, never to return, to the land of darkness and the deepest shadow,”
“Before I go and return no more, to a land that is dark and covered with the mist of death:”
“Before I go to the place from which I will not come back, to the land where all is dark and black,”
“Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;”
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.
