Job 3:11
Douay-Rheims
Why did I not die in the womb, why did I not perish when I came out of the belly?
Rashi
Why did I not die from the womb? why was I not ready to die immediately upon my emergence from the womb? He speaks in the future tense, as though he were standing now on the day of his emergence from the womb and saying, “Why will I not die now, and why did I not... emerge from the belly and perish?” Why was my death not imminent?
