Job 3:11-19

11“Why did I not die at birth? Why did I not perish when I came from the womb?

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

13For now I would have lain still and been quiet, I would have been asleep; Then I would have been at rest

14With kings and counselors of the earth, Who built ruins for themselves,

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

16Or why was I not hidden like a stillborn child, Like infants who never saw light?

17There the wicked cease from troubling, And there the weary are at rest.

18There the prisoners rest together; They do not hear the voice of the oppressor.

19The small and great are there, And the servant is free from his master.
