A Plea for Respite Before Death

Job 10:18-22

Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? 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, Evento the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

The land dark as midnight, The landof the shadow of death, without any order, And where the light is as midnight.
