Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:19 - And for me to have been as if I had not been; to have been taken from my mother's body straight to my last resting-place.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:20 - Are not the days of my life small in number? Let your eyes be turned away from me, so that I may have a little pleasure,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:21 - Before I go to the place from which I will not come back, to the land where all is dark and black,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:22 - A land of thick dark, without order, where the very light is dark.
