SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:11
¶ ¿Por qué no morí yo desde la matriz, o fui traspasado saliendo del vientre?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 3:11
Verse 11. Why died I not from the womb ] As the other circumstance did not take place, why was I not still-born, without the possibility of reviviscence? or, as this did not occur, why did I not die as soon as born? These three things appear to me to be clearly intended here: ] 1. Dying in the womb, or never coming to maturity, as in the case of an abortion. 2. Being still-born, without ever being able to breathe. 3. Or, if born alive, dying within a short time after. And to these states he seems to refer in the following verses.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-19 - Job complained of those present at his birth, for their tende attention to him. No creature comes into the world so helpless as man God's power and providence upheld our frail lives, and his pity an patience spared our forfeited lives. Natural affection is put int parents' hearts by God. To desire to die that we may be with Christ that we may be free from sin, is the effect and evidence of grace; but to desire to die, only that we may be delivered from the troubles of this life, savours of corruption. It is our wisdom and duty to make the best of that which is, be it living or dying; and so to live to the Lord, and die to the Lord, as in both to be his, Ro 14:8. Observe ho Job describes the repose of the grave; There the wicked cease from troubling. When persecutors die, they can no longer persecute. Ther the weary are at rest: in the grave they rest from all their labours And a rest from sin, temptation, conflict, sorrows, and labours remains in the presence and enjoyment of God. There believers rest i Jesus, nay, as far as we trust in the Lord Jesus and obey him, we her find rest to our souls, though in the world we have tribulation.
