Job 10:16-18
Common English Bible

16 I could boast like a lion, and you would hunt me;
    you would do awesome things to me again.
17 You continue to send your witnesses against me
    and increase your anger toward me,
        a swift army against me.[a]

Death wish

18 Why did you let me emerge from the womb?
    I wish I had died without any eye seeing me.
