Job 3:16
Job 3:16 New Living Translation (NLT)
Why wasn’t I buried like a stillborn child, like a baby who never lives to see the light?
Job 3:11-19 The Message (MSG)
“Why didn’t I die at birth, my first breath out of the womb my last? Why were there arms to rock me, and breasts for me to drink from? I could be resting in peace right now, asleep forever, feeling no pain, In the company of kings and statesmen in their royal ruins, Or with princes resplendent in their gold and silver tombs. Why wasn’t I stillborn and buried with all the babies who never saw light, Where the wicked no longer trouble anyone and bone-weary people get a long-deserved rest? Prisoners sleep undisturbed, never again to wake up to the bark of the guards. The small and the great are equals in that place, and slaves are free from their masters.
Job 3:16 King James Version (KJV)
Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; As infants which never saw light.
Job 3:16 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Or like a miscarriage which is discarded, I would not be, As infants that never saw light.
Job 3:16 New Century Version (NCV)
Why was I not buried like a child born dead, like a baby who never saw the light of day?
Job 3:16 American Standard Version (ASV)
Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants that never saw light.
Job 3:16 New International Version (NIV)
Or why was I not hidden away in the ground like a stillborn child, like an infant who never saw the light of day?
Job 3:16 New King James Version (NKJV)
Or why was I not hidden like a stillborn child, Like infants who never saw light?
