Jeremiah 20:17 Cross References - CLV

¹⁷ Because he has not put me to death from the womb, And my mother is to me--my grave, And her womb a pregnancy eonian."

¹⁰ For it did not close the doors of my mother's belly Or conceal misery from my eyes. ¹¹ Why did I not die from the womb, From the belly come forth and expire?

¹⁶ Why was I not like a buried stillborn child, Like babes who have not seen light?

¹⁸ Then why did You bring me forth from the womb? I would have expired, and no eye would have seen me. ¹⁹ I would have been just as if I had not come into being; I would have been fetched from the belly to the tomb.

³ If a man begets a hundred children and lives for many years, So that the days of his years become a multitude, Yet his soul is not satisfied with good, And also there is no tomb for him, I say, A stillborn child is better off than he."
