Why didn't I give up the spirit when my mother bore me? 12 Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should suck? 13 For now should I have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest, 14 With kings and counselors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves; 15 Or with princes who had gold, Who filled their houses with silver: 16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants who never saw light.
