Job 3:11-19

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

11“Why did I not die 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 would have lain down and been quiet;
I would have slept then, I would have been at rest,
14With kings and counselors of the earth,
Who rebuilt ruins for themselves;
15Or with rulers who had gold,
Who were filling their houses with silver.
16“Or like a miscarriage which is hidden, I would not exist,
As infants that never saw light.
17“There the wicked cease from raging,
And there the weary are at rest.
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.
