King James Version (KJV)

Job 10:18

“Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!”

Verse in context — Job 10

For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.

Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war [are] against me.

Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!

I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

[Are] not my days few? cease [then, and] let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
