Job 3:11-19 - Job Wishes He Had Died

¹¹ Why died I not from the womb? why did I not expire when I came out of the womb? ¹² Why did the knees receive me? or why the breasts that I should nurse? ¹³ For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then would I have been at rest, ¹⁴ With kings and counselors of the earth, who built desolate places for themselves; ¹⁵ Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: ¹⁶ Or as a hidden untimely birth, I had not been; as infants who never saw light. ¹⁷ There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary are at rest. ¹⁸ There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. ¹⁹ The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
