Job 3:14

Death and loss

12 Why were there knees to receive me, and breasts that I should be nursed?

13 For now I would be lying down in peace; I would be asleep and at rest

with kings and counselors of the earth, who built for themselves cities now in ruins,

15 or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver.

16 Or why was I not hidden like a stillborn child, like an infant who never sees daylight?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
