Job 3:11-16 ▼

11 Wherefore did I not die from the womb, -- come forth from the belly and expire?

12 Why did the knees meet me? and wherefore the breasts, that I should suck?

13 For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, who build desolate places for themselves,

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

16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants that have not seen the light.
