18 “Why then did you bring me out of the womb?

I wish I had died before any eye saw me.

18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb?

Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!

18 “ ‘Why, then, did you deliver me from my mother’s womb?

Why didn’t you let me die at birth?

18 ‘Why then have You brought me out of the womb?

Oh, that I had perished and no eye had seen me!

18 “So why did you allow me to be born?

I wish I had died before anyone saw me.

18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb?

I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me.

18 And wherefore didst thou bring me forth out of the womb? I had expired, and no eye had seen me.

18 “ ‘Why did you take me out of the womb? 

I wish I had breathed my last breath 

before anyone had laid eyes on me. 

18 “Why did You bring me out of the womb?

I should have died and never been seen.

18 “Why did you bring me forth from the womb?

Would that I had died before any eye had seen me,

18 So why did you bring me forth from the womb?

I should have passed away, and no eye should have seen me.

18 “ ‘Why did you bring me out of my mother’s body?

I wish I had died before anyone saw me.

18 ‘Why then have You brought me out of the womb?

Would that I had died and no eye had seen me!
