Job 3:11

Job Wishes He Had Died

¹⁰ Because it did not keep the doors of my mother's body shut, so that trouble might be veiled from my eyes. ¹¹ Why did death not take me when I came out of my mother's body, why did I not, when I came out, give up my last breath? ¹² Why did the knees take me, or why the breasts that they might give me milk?

Not Give Up

Sorrow is mine, my mother, because you have given birth to me, a cause of fighting and argument in all the earth! I have not made men my creditors and I am not in debt to any, but every one of them is cursing me.

O Lord, what will you give them? Give them bodies which may not give birth and breasts without milk.
