10. because it didn’t shut up the doors of my mother’s womb,nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
11. “Why didn’t I die from the womb?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 nurse?
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 counsellors 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.
17. There the wicked cease from troubling.There the weary are at rest.
