NET Bible
"before I depart, never to return, to the land of darkness and the deepest shadow,"
— Job 10:21, NET Bible
“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 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;”
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,
to the land of utter darkness, like the deepest darkness, and the deepest shadow and disorder, where even the light is like darkness.”
