Job 10:21

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,

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.”

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