“Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.”
Job 3:10 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 3:10
Job explains why he curses his conception night: 'Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.' The womb as having 'doors' that should have remained shut pictures conception as an entrance that should have been barred. Job wishes he had never been conceived so that he would have been spared his current suffering. This reflects the paradox of suffering: present pain can make past blessings seem like curses.
