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?
