Job 3:10-11
Job 3:10-11 New King James Version (NKJV)
Because it did not shut up the doors of my mother’s womb, Nor hide sorrow from my eyes. “Why did I not die at birth? Why did I not perish when I came from the womb?
Job 3:10-11 New Living Translation (NLT)
Curse that day for failing to shut my mother’s womb, for letting me be born to see all this trouble. “Why wasn’t I born dead? Why didn’t I die as I came from the womb?
Job 3:3-19 The Message (MSG)
“Obliterate the day I was born. Blank out the night I was conceived! Let it be a black hole in space. May God above forget it ever happened. Erase it from the books! May the day of my birth be buried in deep darkness, shrouded by the fog, swallowed by the night. And the night of my conception—the devil take it! Rip the date off the calendar, delete it from the almanac. Oh, turn that night into pure nothingness— no sounds of pleasure from that night, ever! May those who are good at cursing curse that day. Unleash the sea beast, Leviathan, on it. May its morning stars turn to black cinders, waiting for a daylight that never comes, never once seeing the first light of dawn. And why? Because it released me from my mother’s womb into a life with so much trouble. “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 3:10-11 King James Version (KJV)
Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, Nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost When I came out of the belly?
Job 3:10-11 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Because it did not shut the opening of my mother’s womb, Or hide trouble from my eyes. “Why did I not die at birth, Come forth from the womb and expire?
Job 3:10-11 New Century Version (NCV)
because it allowed me to be born and did not hide trouble from my eyes. “Why didn’t I die as soon as I was born? Why didn’t I die when I came out of the womb?
Job 3:10-11 American Standard Version (ASV)
Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb, Nor hid trouble from mine eyes. Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me?
Job 3:10-11 New International Version (NIV)
