Job 3:11-16

11"Why did I not die at birth, come out from the womb and expire?

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

13For then I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept; then I would have been at rest,

14with kings and counselors of the earth who rebuilt ruins for themselves,

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

16Or why was I not as a hidden stillborn child, as infants who never see the light?
