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

¹¹ "Alas, why died I not in the birth? Why did not I perish, as soon as I came out of my mother's womb? ¹² Why set they me upon their knees? Why gave they me suck with their breasts? ¹³ Then should I now have lain still; I should have slept, and been at rest, ¹⁴ like as the kings and lords of the earth, which build themselves special places: ¹⁵ As the princes that have great substance of gold, and their houses full of silver. ¹⁶ O that I utterly had no being, or were as a thing born out of time that is put aside, either as young children, which never saw the light. ¹⁷ There, must the wicked cease from their tyranny, there such as are overlaboured be at rest. ¹⁸ There, are those let out free which have been in prison, so that they hear no more the voice of the oppressor. ¹⁹ There, are small and great; the bondman, and he that is free from his master.
