Job 3:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 3:10

8 May those curse it who curse the day,
Those ^awho are ready to arouse Leviathan.

9 May the stars of its morning be dark;
May it look for light, but have none,
And not see the¹ dawning of the day;

10 Because it did not shut up the doors of my mother’s womb,
Nor hide sorrow from my eyes.

11 “Why^a did I not die at birth?
Why did I not¹ perish when I came from the womb?

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;
