Job 3:10 Context
8Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise vp their mourning. 9Let the starres of the twilight thereof be darke, let it looke for light, but haue none, neither let it see the dawning of the day: 10Because it shut not vp the doores of my mothers wombe, nor hid sorrowe from mine eyes. 11Why died I not from the wombe? why did I not giue vp the ghost when I came out of the bellie? 12Why did the knees preuent mee? or why the breasts, that I should sucke?

Wesley's Notes for Job 3:10
3:10 It - The night or the day: to which those things are ascribed which were done by others in them, as is frequent in poetical writings. Womb - That it might never have brought me forth. Nor hid - Because it did not keep me from entering into this miserable life, and seeing, or experiencing, these bitter sorrows.
