Job 3:11-22
11 “ aWhy did I not die ▼
▼Lit from the womb
at birth, Come out of the womb and pass away?
12 “Why were the knees there in front of me,
And why the breasts, that I would nurse?
13 “For now I cwould have lain down and been quiet;
I would have slept then, I would have been at rest,
14 With dkings and ecounselors of the earth,
Who rebuilt fruins for themselves;
15 Or with grulers hwho had gold,
Who were filling their houses with silver.
16 “Or like a miscarriage which is ▼
▼I.e., buried
hidden, I would not exist, As infants that never saw light.
17 “There the wicked cease from raging,
And there the ▼
▼Lit weary of strength
weary are at krest. 18 “The prisoners are at ease together;
They do not hear the voice of the taskmaster.
19 “The small and the great are there,
And the slave is free from his master.
20 “Why is llight given to one burdened with grief,
And life to the bitter of soul,
21 Who ▼
▼Lit wait
nlong for death, but there is none, And dig for it more than for ohidden treasures;
22 Who are filled with jubilation,
And rejoice when they find the grave?
