Job 3:11-16 ▼

11 “Why did I not die at birth, Come forth from the womb and expire?

12 “Why did the knees receive me? And why the breasts, that I would nurse?

13 “For now I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept then, I would have been at rest [in death],

14 With kings and counselors of the earth, Who built up [now desolate] ruins for themselves;

15 Or with princes who had gold, Who filled their houses with silver.

16 “Or like a miscarriage which is hidden and put away, I would not exist, Like infants who never saw light.
