Job 10:15If I have done wickedly -- wo to me, And righteously -- I lift not up my head, Full of shame -- then see my affliction,
Job 10:16And it riseth -- as a lion Thou huntest me. And Thou turnest back -- Thou shewest Thyself wonderful in me.
Job 10:17Thou renewest Thy witnesses against me, And dost multiply Thine anger with me, Changes and warfare are with me.
Job 10:18And why from the womb Hast Thou brought me forth? I expire, and the eye doth not see me.

Job 10:20Are not my days few? Cease then, and put from me, And I brighten up a little,
Job 10:21Before I go, and return not, Unto a land of darkness and death-shade,
Job 10:22A land of obscurity as thick darkness, Death-shade -- and no order, And the shining is as thick darkness.'
