King James Version
"Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light."
— Job 3:16, King James Version
“Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants that never saw light. ”
“or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.”
“Or why was I not buried like a stillborn infant, like infants who have never seen the light?”
“Or as a hidden untimely birth, I should not be; or as they that, being conceived, have not seen the light.”
“Or as a child dead at birth I might never have come into existence; like young children who have not seen the light.”
“Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.”
For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;
Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
