Job 3:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹ “Why didn’t I die when I was born?
    Why didn’t I die as I came out of my mother’s body?
¹² Why was I placed on her knees?
    Why did her breasts give me milk?
¹³ If all of that hadn’t happened,
    I would be lying down in peace.
    I’d be asleep and at rest in the grave.
