Job 10:19

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!

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,

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
