NET Bible
"Or why was I not buried like a stillborn infant, like infants who have never seen the light?"
— Job 3:16, NET Bible
“Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.”
“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 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 I would be lying down and would be quiet, I would be asleep and then at peace
with kings and counselors of the earth who built for themselves places now desolate,
or with princes who possessed gold, who filled their palaces with silver.
Or why was I not buried like a stillborn infant, like infants who have never seen the light?
There the wicked cease from turmoil, and there the weary are at rest.
There the prisoners relax together; they do not hear the voice of the oppressor.
Small and great are there, and the slave is free from his master.
