World English Bible
"For now should I have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,"
— Job 3:13, World English Bible
“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 had I 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 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 should I 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.
