JOB 3.10, 11, 12, 13. Verse 10. Because it shut not up the doors of my mothers womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts, that I should suck? For now should I have lien still, and been quiet, I should have slept; then had I been at rest.

WE are now come to the second general part of this Chapter. You may remember, the whole was divided into three Sections. The first showed us the curse which Job poured out upon his day. The second, the cause or ground of that curse. And the third, a vehement expostulation about the continuance of his life and the lengthening of his days.
WE are now come to the second generall part of this Chapter. You may remember, the whole was divided into three Sections. The first shewed us the curse which Job powred out upon his day. The second, the cause or ground of that curse. And the third, a vehement expostulation about the continuance of his life and the lengthning of his dayes.
We have heard the curse opened already in the nine former verses: Now followeth the cause of the curse. Job gives an account or reason of his passion: If any should check him with, why doest thou thus breath out complaints against the day of thy birth?
