Why did I not expire when I came out of the belly? 12 Why were there knees to receive me? Or why breasts that I should nurse? 13 For now I would have lain still and been quiet, I would have slept: then I would have been at rest, 14 With kings and counselors of the earth, who built ruins for themselves; 15 Or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver: 16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I would not have existed; like infants who never saw light. 17 There the wicked cease from troubling; there the weary are at rest. 18 There the prisoners rest together; they do not hear the voice of the oppressor. 19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. 20 Why is light given to him who is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul; 21 Who long for death, but it does not come; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures; 22 Who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? 23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, and whom God has hedged in? 24 For my sighing comes before I eat, and my groanings are poured out like water. 25 For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, and what I dreaded has happened to me. 26 I was not in safety, nor had I rest, nor was I quiet; yet trouble came.
