Bible verse
For that night did not shut the doors of the womb to hide the sorrow from my eyes.
Job 3:10 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 3.
6 If only darkness had taken that night away! May it not appear among the days of the year; may it never be entered in any of the months.
7 Behold, may that night be barren; may no joyful voice come into it.
8 May it be cursed by those who curse the day—those prepared to rouse Leviathan.
9 May its morning stars grow dark; may it wait in vain for daylight; may it not see the breaking of dawn.
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,
