Contextual Overview

14 If I dyd sinne, thou haddest an eye vnto me, and shalt not pronounce me innocent from myne offence. 15 If I haue done wickedly, wo is me therefore: If I haue done righteously, yet dare I not lift vp my head, so full am I of confusion, and see myne owne miserie. 16 And let it increase, hunte me as a lion, & returne and shew thy selfe maruaylous vpon me. 17 Thou bringest freshe witnesse against me, and thy wrath increasest thou vpon me: diuers and many are the plagues that I am in. 18 Wherfore hast thou brought me out of the wombe? O that I had perished, and that no eye had seene me, 19 And that I were as though I had not ben, but brought from the wombe to the graue. 20 Are not my dayes fewe? Let him then leaue of fro me, and let me a lone, that I may comfort my selfe a litle, 21 Afore I go [thyther from whence] I shall not turne againe, euen to the lande of darknesse and shadowe of death: 22 Yea a lande as darke as darknesse it selfe, and into the shadowe of death where is none order, but the light is there as darknesse.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

I should have been as though I had not been,.... For though it cannot be said absolutely of such an one, an abortive or untimely birth, that it is a nonentity, or never existed; yet comparatively it is as if it never had a being; it being seen by none or very few, it having had no name, nor any conversation among men; but at once buried, and buried in forgetfulness, as if no such one had ever been; see Ecclesiastes 6:3. This Job wished for, for so some render it, "oh, that I had been as though I had never been" f; and then he would have never been involved in such troubles he was, he would have been free from all his afflictions and distresses, and never have had any experience of the sorrows that now surrounded him:

I should have been carried from the womb to the grave; if he had not been brought out of it, the womb had been his grave, as in Jeremiah 20:17; or if he had died in it, and had been stillborn, he would quickly have been carried to his grave; he would have seen and known nothing of life and of the world, and the things in it; and particularly of the troubles that attend mortals here: his passage in it and through it would have been very short, or none at all, no longer than from the womb to the grave; and so should never have known what sorrow was, or such afflictions he now endured; such an one being in his esteem happier than he; see Ecclesiastes 4:3.

f So Vatablus, Piscator, and some in Mercerus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I should have been carried from the womb to the grave - See the notes at Job 3:16.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 10:19. I should have been as though — Had I given up the ghost as soon as born, as I could not then have been conscious of existence, it would have been, as it respects myself, as though I had never been; being immediately transported from my mother's womb to the grave.
