“Why did you bring me out from the womb? Would that I had died before any eye had seen me
Cursed be the day on which I was born! The day when my mother bore me, let it not be blessed! Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father, “A son is born to you,” making him very glad. Let that man be like the cities that the Lord overthrew without pity; let him hear a cry in the morning and an alarm at noon, because he did not kill me in the womb; so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb forever great. Why did I come out from the womb to see toil and sorrow, and spend my days in shame?
The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”
Woe is me, my mother, that you bore me, a man of strife and contention to the whole land! I have not lent, nor have I borrowed, yet all of them curse me.
But a man dies and is laid low; man breathes his last, and where is he?
But the eyes of the wicked will fail; all way of escape will be lost to them, and their hope is to breathe their last.”
because it did not shut the doors of my mother's womb, nor hide trouble from my eyes. “Why did I not die at birth, come out from the womb and expire?
