Job 3:12 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

The knees — Why did the midwife or nurse receive and lay me upon her knees, and not suffer me to fall upon the bare ground, 'till death had taken me out of this miserable world, into which their cruel kindness hath betrayed me? Why did the breasts prevent me from perishing through hunger, or supply me that should have what to suck? Thus Job unthankfully despises these wonderful mercies of God towards poor helpless infants.

Job 3:12

12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
