Job 3:16–17

Or why was I not as a hidden stillborn child,

as infants who never see the light?

There the wicked cease from troubling,

and there the weary are at rest.

Or why was I not hidden away in the ground like a stillborn child,

like an infant who never saw the light of day?

There the wicked cease from turmoil,

and there the weary are at rest.

Or why was I not hidden like a miscarried child,

like infants who never see daylight?

There the wicked cease to make trouble,

and there the weary find rest.

Why wasn’t I buried like a stillborn child,

like a baby who never lives to see the light?

For in death the wicked cause no trouble,

and the weary are at rest.

Or why was I not hidden like a miscarriage,

like infants who did not see the light?

There the wicked cease from troubling,

and there the weary are at rest;

Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been;

As infants which never saw light.

There the wicked cease from troubling;

And there the weary be at rest.
