What does Job 3:13 mean?
"For now should I have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,"
— Job 3:13 (World English Bible)
Surrounding context
because it didn’t shut up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
“Why didn’t I die from the womb? Why didn’t I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?
Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should nurse?
For now should I have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,
with kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves;
or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.
