Why then have You brought me out of the womb? Oh, that I had expired and no eye had seen me!

I would have been as though I had not been. I would have been carried from the womb to the grave.

for Jehovah had closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, the wife of Abraham.

When Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, although Jehovah had closed up her womb.

If a man begets a hundred, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, and his soul is not filled with goodness, and there is also for him no burial; I say, a miscarriage is better than he;

Also it has not seen the sun, nor known anything. This one has more rest than the other.

because he did not kill me from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb always pregnant.

Oh, that my grief were fully weighed, and my calamity laid with it on the scales!

For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea; therefore my words have been rash.

My soul loathes my life; I will leave behind my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

Even today my complaint is bitter; my hand is heavy over my groaning.

Therefore remove vexation from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh; for childhood and youth are vanity.
