Job 3:12-17 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

12. Why did my mother hold me on her knees?Why did she feed me at her breast?

13. If I had died then, I would be at rest now,

14. sleeping like the kings and rulerswho rebuilt ancient palaces.

15. Then I would be sleeping like princeswho filled their houses with gold and silver,

16. or sleeping like a stillborn child.

17. In the grave wicked people stop their evil,and tired workers find rest at last.
