Job 3:11-26
11WhyH4100 diedH4191 I notH3808 from the wombH990? whyH4100 didH4100 I notH3808 give up the ghost when I cameH3318 outH3318 of the bellyH990? 12WhyH4100 didH4100 the kneesH1290 receiveH6923 meH4100? or whyH4100 the breastsH7699, that I should suckH3243? 13For nowH6258 should I have lainH7901 downH7901 and been quietH8252; I should have sleptH7901; then had I been at restH5117: 14With kingsH4428 and counsellors of the earthH776, which builtH1129 upH1129 wasteH2723 placesH2723 for themselvesH1129; 15Or with princesH8269 that had goldH2091, who filledH4390 their housesH1004 with silverH3701: 16Or as an hiddenH2934 untimely birthH3808 I had notH3808 been; as infantsH5768 which neverH3808 sawH7200 lightH216. 17There the wickedH7563 ceaseH2308 from troubling; and there the wearyH3019 be at restH5117. 18There the prisonersH615 are at easeH7599 togetherH3162; they hearH8085 notH3808 the voiceH6963 of the taskmasterH5065. 19The smallH6996 and greatH1419 are there; and the servantH5650 is freeH2670 from his masterH113. 20Wherefore is lightH216 givenH5414 to him that is in misery, and lifeH5315 unto the bitterH4751 in soulH5315; 21Which longH2442 for deathH4194, but it cometh notH369; and digH2658 for it moreH369 than for hid treasuresH4301; 22Which rejoiceH8055 exceedingly, and are gladH8055, when they can findH4672 the graveH6913? 23WhyH834 is light given to a manH1397 whoseH834 wayH1870 is hidH5641, and whomH834 GodH433 hath hedgedH5526 in? 24For my sighingH585 cometh beforeH6440 I eat, and my roarings are pouredH5413 outH6440 like waterH4325. 25For the thingH3588 whichH834 I fearH6343 cometh uponH935 meH935, and that whichH834 I am afraidH6342 of cometh unto meH935. 26I am notH3808 at easeH7951, neitherH3808 am I quietH8252, neitherH3808 have I restH5117; but trouble cometh.
