10 Because it shut not up the doors of my [mother's] womb,
Nor hid trouble from mine eyes. 11 Why died I not from the womb?
Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare 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 had I been at rest, 14 With kings and counsellors of the earth,
Who built up waste places for themselves; 15 Or with princes that had gold,
Who filled their houses with silver 16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been,
As infants that never saw light.
