Verses 11 and 12 contain four rhetorical questions, which Job asks in order to show how said he was about being born.

Why did I not die when I came out from the womb?

"Why did I not die at birth?" Job poses this question in order to curse the day of his birth and to express his anguish. Alternate translation: "I wish I had died the day I was born" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion)

Why did I not perish when my mother bore me?

Job means to say that he should not have been born alive. Alternate translation: "I wish I had perished when I came out of the womb." (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion)
