11. Why died I not from the womb? why did I not expire when I came out of the womb?
12. Why did the knees receive me? or why the breasts that I should nurse?
13. For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then would I have been at rest,
14. With kings and counselors of the earth, who built desolate 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 who never saw light.
17. There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary are at rest.
18. There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
19. The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
