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

¹¹ "Why didn't I die from the womb? Why didn't I give up the spirit when my mother bore me? ¹² Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should nurse? ¹³ For now should I have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest, ¹⁴ with kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves; ¹⁵ or with princes who 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. There the weary are at rest. ¹⁸ There the prisoners are at ease together. They don't hear the voice of the taskmaster. ¹⁹ The small and the great are there. The servant is free from his master.
