Job 10:20-22

Job Continues: A Plea to God

²⁰ _x Are not my days few?
_y Then cease, and leave me alone, _z that I may find a little cheer
²¹ before I go - and _a I shall not return -
to the land of _b darkness and _c deep shadow,
²² the land of gloom like thick darkness,
like deep shadow without any order,
where light is as thick darkness."
