Job 3:11-16
11“1Why did I not die 2at birth, Come out of the womb and pass away?12Why were the knees there in front of me, And why the breasts, that I would nurse?13For now I 3would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept then, I would have been at rest,14With 4kings and 5counselors of the earth, Who rebuilt 6ruins for themselves;15Or with 7rulers 8who had gold, Who were filling their houses with silver.16Or like a miscarriage which is 9hidden, I would not exist, As infants that never saw light.
