before I go where I will not return from,
to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
before I go where I will not return from,
to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
Job 10:18–22
“‘Why, then, have you brought me out of the womb?
I wish I had given up the spirit, 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.
Aren’t my days few?
Stop!
Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
before I go where I will not return from,
to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
the land dark as midnight,
of the shadow of death,
without any order,
where the light is as midnight.’”
