Job 3:14
Compare all
12 aWhy did the knees receive me?
Or why the breasts, that I should nurse? 
13 For now I would have lain still and been quiet,
I would have been asleep;
Then I would have been at rest
14 With kings and counselors of the earth,
Who abuilt ruins for themselves, 
15 Or with princes who had gold,
Who filled their houses with silver;
16 Or why was I not hidden alike a stillborn child,
Like infants who never saw light?

Job 3:14

Kings - I had then been as happy as the proudest monarchs, who after all their great achievements and enjoyments, go down into their graves. Built - Who to shew their wealth and power, or to leave behind them a glorious name, rebuilt ruined cities, or built new cities and palaces, in places where before there was mere solitude and wasteness.
