18. Why then hast Thou brought me forth out of the rechem (womb)? Oh that I had expired, and no eye had seen me!
19. I should have been as though I had never been; I should have been carried from the beten straight to the kever.
20. Are not my yamim few? Then cease, and let me alone, that I may take a little cheer
21. Before I go from where I shall not return, even to the Eretz Choshech V'Tzalmavet,
22. An eretz of darkness, like darkness itself; and of tzalmavet, no sedarim (order), where the light is like darkness.
