Job 3:13

“For now I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept then; it would have been rest to me,

“A cloud vanishes, and it is gone, So he who goes down to Sheol does not come up.

‘Why then have You brought me out of the womb? Would that I had breathed my last and no eye had seen me!

Before I go—and I shall not return— To the land of darkness and shadow of death,

“But man dies and lies prostrate. Man breathes his last, and where is he?

So man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no longer, He will not awake nor be aroused out of his sleep.

“For when a few years are past, I shall go the way of no return.

“If I hope for Sheol as my home, I make my bed in the darkness;

“Together they lie down in the dust, And worms cover them.

“The departed spirits tremble Under the waters and their inhabitants.

I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.

So I lauded the dead who are already dead more than the living who are still living.

But better off than both of them is the one who never has been, who has never seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

“Nor do they lie beside the fallen mighty ones of the uncircumcised, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war and whose swords were put under their heads; but the punishment for their iniquity rested on their bones, though the terror of these mighty ones was once in the land of the living.
