18 Why then did You bring me from the womb?
Oh, that I had died, and no eye had seen me!
19 JUST AS NOT I HAD BEEN I WAS FROM [THE] WOMB TO THE GRAVE I WAS BROUGHT

Withdraw from me, that I may have a little comfort
21 <IN> BEFORE I WILL GO AND NOT I WILL RETURN TO [THE] LAND OF DARKNESS AND DEEP DARKNESS
21 before I go— never to return—
to a land of darkness and gloom,
22 [THE] LAND OF DARKNESS LIKE GLOOM OF DEEP DARKNESS AND NOT ORDER<S> AND IT SHONE FORTH LIKE GLOOM
22 to a land of utter darkness,
of deep shadow and disorder,
where even the light is like darkness.”
