Job 3:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² Why was I placed on her knees?
    Why did her breasts give me milk?
¹³ If all of that hadn’t happened,
    I would be lying down in peace.
    I’d be asleep and at rest in the grave.
¹⁴ I’d be with the earth’s kings and rulers.
    They had built for themselves places that are now destroyed.
