11. “Why didn’t I die as soon as I was born?Why didn’t I die when I came out of the womb?
12. Why did my mother’s knees receive me?Why did my mother’s breasts feed me?
13. If they had not been there, I would be lying dead in peace.I would be asleep and at rest.
14. I would be asleep with kings and wise men of the earth.They built places for themselves that are now ruined.
15. I would be asleep with rulers who had gold.They filled their houses with silver!
