Job 3:11-15

English Standard Version

¹¹ “Why ^(A)did I not die at birth,
    come out from the womb and expire?
¹² Why did ^(B)the knees receive me?
    Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?
¹³ For then I would have lain down and been quiet;
    I would have slept; then I would have been at rest,
¹⁴ with kings and counselors of the earth
    who ^(C)rebuilt ruins for themselves,
¹⁵ or with princes who had gold,
    who filled their houses with silver.
