American Standard Version
"For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest, "
— Job 3:13, American Standard Version
“For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,”
“For now should I have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,”
“For now I would be lying down and would be quiet, I would be asleep and then at peace”
“For now I should have been asleep and still, and should have rest in my sleep:”
“For then I might have gone to my rest in quiet, and in sleep have been in peace,”
“For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,”
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;
Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver:
Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants that never saw light.
