Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? (3:12)

For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest, (3:13)

With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves; (3:14)

Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: (3:15)

Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants [which] never saw light (3:16)

There the wicked cease [from] troubling; and there the weary be at rest (3:17)

[There] the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor (3:18)

The small and great are there; and the servant [is] free from his master (3:19)

Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter [in] soul; (3:20)

Which long for death, but it [cometh] not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; (3:21)

Which rejoice exceedingly, [and] are glad, when they can find the grave? (3:22)

[Why is light given] to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? (3:23)

For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters (3:24)

For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me (3:25)

I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came (3:26)
