Job 10:20-22

New Catholic Bible

²⁰ Do I not have but a few remaining days of life?
    Let me alone so that I may have a few moments of happiness
²¹ before I go to the place of no return,
    to the land of gloom and darkness,
²² to the land of deepest night,
    a land of gloom and disorder,
    where even the light is like darkness.’ ”
