Job 3:10-12

English Standard Version

¹⁰because it did not shut the doors of my mother's womb,
nor hide trouble from my eyes.

¹¹“Why ^(A)did I not die at birth,
come out from the womb and expire?
¹²Why did ^(B)the knees receive me?
Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?

Job 3:10-12

New International Version

¹⁰for it did not shut the doors of the womb on me
to hide trouble from my eyes.

¹¹“Why did I not perish at birth,
and die as I came from the womb?^(A)
¹²Why were there knees to receive me^(B)
and breasts that I might be nursed?

¹⁶Or why was I not as a hidden ^(A)stillborn child,
as infants who never see the light?

¹⁶Or why was I not hidden away in the ground like a stillborn child,^(A)
like an infant who never saw the light of day?^(B)
