Job 3:13 in context

Job 3:10–16

10

because it didn’t shut up the doors of my mother’s womb,

nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.

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
Selected verse

For now I should 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.
