Job 3:12
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Why were there knees to receive me, and breasts that I should be nursed?
In context
10 For that night did not shut the doors of the womb to hide the sorrow from my eyes.
11 Why did I not perish at birth; why did I not die as I came from the womb?
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
14 with kings and counselors of the earth, who built for themselves cities now in ruins,
