Let the day perish wherein I was born, And the night which said, There is a man-child conceived.
Job 3:3 ^
Let destruction take the day of my birth, and the night on which it was said, A man child has come into the world.

Lo, let that night be barren; Let no joyful voice come therein.

Job 3:10 ^
Because it shut not up the doors of my [mother's] womb, Nor hid trouble from mine eyes.

Because it did not keep the doors of my mother's body shut, so that trouble might be veiled from my eyes.
Job 3:11 ^
Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me?
Job 3:11 ^
Why did death not take me when I came out of my mother's body, why did I not, when I came out, give up my last breath?

Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should suck?

For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest,
Job 3:13 ^
For then I might have gone to my rest in quiet, and in sleep have been in peace,
Job 3:14 ^
With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves;

Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, And life unto the bitter in soul;
Job 3:20 ^
Why does he give light to him who is in trouble, and life to the bitter in soul;
Job 3:21 ^
Who long for death, but it cometh not, And dig for it more than for hid treasures;
