Bible verse
Why then did You bring me from the womb? Oh, that I had died, and no eye had seen me!
Job 10:18 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 10.
14 If I sinned, You would take note, and would not acquit me of my iniquity.
15 If I am guilty, woe to me! And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift my head. I am full of shame and aware of my affliction.
16 Should I hold my head high, You would hunt me like a lion, and again display Your power against me.
17 You produce new witnesses against me and multiply Your anger toward me. Hardships assault me in wave after wave.
18 Why then did You bring me from the womb? Oh, that I had died, and no eye had seen me!
19 If only I had never come to be, but had been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Are my days not few? Withdraw from me, that I may have a little comfort,
21 before I go—never to return—to a land of darkness and gloom,
22 to a land of utter darkness, of deep shadow and disorder, where even the light is like darkness.”
