Job 3:11-26

11Why diedH4191 I not from the wombH7358? why did I not give up the ghostH1478 when I came outH3318 of the bellyH990?

12Why did the kneesH1290 preventH6923 me? or why the breastsH7699 that I should suckH3243?

13For now should I have lain stillH7901 and been quietH8252, I should have sleptH3462: then had I been at restH5117,

14With kingsH4428 and counsellorsH3289 of the earthH776, which builtH1129 desolate placesH2723 for themselves;

15Or with princesH8269 that had goldH2091, who filledH4390 their housesH1004 with silverH3701:

16Or as an hiddenH2934 untimely birthH5309 I had not been; as infantsH5768 which never sawH7200 lightH216.

17There the wickedH7563 ceaseH2308 from troublingH7267; and there the wearyH3581H3019 be at restH5117.1

18There the prisonersH615 restH7599 togetherH3162; they hearH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the oppressorH5065.

19The smallH6996 and greatH1419 are there; and the servantH5650 is freeH2670 from his masterH113.

20Wherefore is lightH216 givenH5414 to him that is in miseryH6001, and lifeH2416 unto the bitterH4751 in soulH5315;

21Which longH2442 for deathH4194, but it cometh not; and digH2658 for it more than for hid treasuresH4301;2

22Which rejoiceH8056 exceedinglyH1524, and are gladH7797, when they can findH4672 the graveH6913?

23Why is light given to a manH1397 whose wayH1870 is hidH5641, and whom GodH433 hath hedged inH5526?

24For my sighingH585 comethH935 beforeH6440 I eatH3899, and my roaringsH7581 are poured outH5413 like the watersH4325.3

25For the thing which I greatlyH6343 fearedH6342 is comeH857 upon me, and that which I was afraidH3025 of is comeH935 unto me.4

26I was not in safetyH7951, neither had I restH8252, neither was I quietH5117; yet troubleH7267 cameH935.
