¹⁷ because he did not slay me in the womb, and my mother would have been my grave, and her womb perpetual conception.

¹⁰ because it did not shut up the doors of my mother’s womb nor hide the misery from my eyes. ¹¹ ¶ Why did I not die from the womb? Why did I not give up the spirit when I came out of the belly?

¹⁶ Or, why was I not hidden as an untimely birth, as infants who never saw light?

¹⁸ Why then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the spirit and no eye had seen me! ¹⁹ I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

³ If a man begets a hundred sons and lives many years so that the days of his years are many, if his soul is not filled with good and also that he have no burial; I say that an aborted birth is better than he.
