17 For he did not kill me in the womb,

with my mother as my grave,

her womb enlarged forever.

17 Because he slew me not from the womb;

Or that my mother might have been my grave,

And her womb to be always great with me.

17 because he did not kill me at birth.

Oh, that I had died in my mother’s womb,

that her body had been my grave!

17 Because he did not kill me from the womb,

That my mother might have been my grave,

And her womb always enlarged with me.

17 because he did not kill me before I was born.

Then my mother would have been my grave;

she would have stayed pregnant forever.

17 because he slew me not from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.

17 because he slew me not from the womb. Or would that my mother had been my grave, and her womb always great with me!

17 If only he had killed me while I was in the womb. 

Then my mother would have been my grave, 

and she would have always been pregnant. 

17 because he didn’t kill me in the womb

so that my mother might have been my grave,

her womb eternally pregnant.

17 because he did not kill me in the womb;

so my mother would have been my grave,

and her womb forever great.

17 Because he did not kill me in the womb,

so that my mother would have been for me my grave,

and her womb would be pregnant forever.

17 He should have killed me in my mother’s body.

He should have made my mother my grave.

He should have let her body stay large forever.

17 Because he did not kill me before birth,

So that my mother would have been my grave,

And her womb ever pregnant.
