Job 3:11-26

11Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? 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, which built up waste places for themselves; 15Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: 16Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light. 17There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. 18There the prisoners are at ease together; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster. 19The small and 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; 21Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; 22Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? 23Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? 24For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings 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.
