New Testament

Job 3:11-17 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

11. "Why did I not die at birth, Come forth from the womb and expire?

12. "Why did the knees receive me, And why the breasts, that I should suck?

13. "For now I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept then, I would have been at rest,

14. With kings and with counselors of the earth, Who rebuilt ruins for themselves;

15. Or with princes who had gold, Who were filling their houses with silver.

16. "Or like a miscarriage which is discarded, I would not be, As infants that never saw light.

17. "There the wicked cease from raging, And there the weary are at rest.
