For now I should have lain down and been quiet.
I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,
For now I should have lain down and been quiet.
I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,
Job 3:10–16
because it didn’t shut up the doors of my mother’s womb,
nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
“Why didn’t I die from the womb?
Why didn’t I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?
Why did the knees receive me?
Or why the breast, that I should nurse?
For now I should have lain down and been quiet.
I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,
with kings and counselors of the earth,
who built up waste places for themselves;
or with princes who had gold,
who filled their houses with silver;
or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been,
as infants who never saw light.
