"Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me? "
— Job 3:11, American Standard Version
“Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?”
“"Why didn't I die from the womb? Why didn't I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?”
“Job Wishes He Had Died at Birth“Why did I not die at birth, and why did I not expire as I came out of the womb?”
“Why did I not die in the womb? why did I not perish when I came out of the belly?”
“Why did death not take me when I came out of my mother's body, why did I not, when I came out, give up my last breath?”
“Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?”
Let them curse it that curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark: Let it look for light, but have none; Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:
Because it shut not up the doors of mymother’swomb, Nor hid trouble from mine eyes.
Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me?
Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breasts, that I should suck?
For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest,
With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves;
