Job 3:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ Let that day’s morning star be dark.
    Let that night wait for a morning that never comes.
    I wish it had never seen the first rays of sunlight.
¹⁰ I wish it had stopped me from being born
    and kept me from seeing all these troubles.
¹¹ Why didn’t I die when I was born?
    Why didn’t I die as I came from my mother’s womb?
