Job 3:11-16 ▼

11 “Why didn’t I die from the womb? Why didn’t I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?

12 Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should nurse?

13 For now I should have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,

14 with kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste 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 who never saw light.
