King James Version (KJV)

Job 10:20

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

Verse in context — Job 10

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,

Before I go [whence] I shall not return, [even] to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

A land of darkness, as darkness [itself; and] of the shadow of death, without any order, and [where] the light [is] as darkness.

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