New King James Version

Job 3:10-15 New King James Version (NKJV)

10. Because it did not shut up the doors of my mother’s womb,Nor hide sorrow from my eyes.

11. “Why did I not die at birth?Why did I not perish when I came from the womb?

12. Why did the knees receive me?Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?

13. For now I would have lain still and been quiet,I would have been asleep;Then I would have been at rest

14. With kings and counselors of the earth,Who built ruins for themselves,

15. Or with princes who had gold,Who filled their houses with silver;
