Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 10:19:

I would have been like a person who had never appeared at any day.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “It would surely have been better if I had never existed,
or if [I] had been taken [directly] from [my] mother’s womb the grave.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Wish I would-have- not -been-created. Wish I would-have-died in the womb of my mother and after-delivery had-been-buried right-away.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

And many people will come and request you to do things for them.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
