Job 3:11-26

VIN(i) 11 "Why did I not perish at birth, and die as I came from the womb? 12 "Why were there knees to receive me and breasts that I might be nursed? 13 "For now I would be lying down in peace. I would be asleep and at rest. 14 "I would be with kings and counselors of the earth, who built for themselves places now lying in ruins. 15 or with rulers who had gold, who filled their houses with silver. 16 »Why was I not hidden in the ground like a stillborn child, like an infant who never saw the light of day? 17 There the wicked cease from turmoil, and there the weary are at rest; 18 "Captives also enjoy their ease; they no longer hear the slave driver's shout. 19 The small and the great are there, and the slave is free from his master. 20 "Why is light given to those in misery, and life to the bitter in heart? 21 »They long for death that does not come. They search for it more than for hidden treasure. 22 "They are filled with gladness and rejoice when they reach the grave. 23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in? 24 »Sighing comes to me instead of food. My groans pour out like water. 25 "What I feared has come upon me. What I dreaded has happened to me. 26 "I have no peace. I have no quietness. I have no rest. I only have turmoil!"
