American Standard Version
Job 3:11-26
11Why died I not from the womb?Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me?12Why did the knees receive me?Or why the breasts, that I should suck?13For now should I have lain down and been quiet;I should have slept; then had I been at rest,14With kings and counsellors of the earth,Who built up waste places for themselves;15Or with princes that had gold,Who filled their houses with silver:16Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been,As infants that never saw light.17There the wicked cease from troubling;And there the weary are at rest.18There the prisoners are at ease together;They hear not the voice of the taskmaster.19The small and the great are there:And the servant is free from his master.20Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery,And life unto the bitter in soul;21Who long for death, but it cometh not,And dig for it more than for hid treasures;22Who rejoice exceedingly,And are glad, when they can find the grave?23Why is light givento a man whose way is hid,And whom God hath hedged in?24For my sighing cometh before I eat,And my groanings are poured out like water.25For the thing which I fear cometh upon me,And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me.26I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest;But trouble cometh.
