11“Why didn’t I die as soon as I was born?
Why didn’t I die when I came out of the womb?
12Why did my mother’s knees receive me,
and my mother’s breasts feed me?
13If they had not been there,
I would be lying dead in peace;
I would be asleep and at rest

“Why did I not die at birth,
come out from the womb and expire?
Why did the knees receive me?
Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?
For then I would have lain down and been quiet;
I would have slept; then I would have been at rest,

and die as I came from the womb?

For now I would be lying down in peace;
I would be asleep and at rest

Why was I not stillborn;
why didn’t I die as I came from the womb?
Why did the knees receive me,
and why were there breasts for me to nurse?
Now I would certainly be lying down in peace;
I would be asleep.
Then I would be at rest

“Why wasn’t I born dead?
Why didn’t I die as I came from the womb?
Why was I laid on my mother’s lap?
Why did she nurse me at her breasts?
Had I died at birth, I would now be at peace.
I would be asleep and at rest.

“Why did I not die at birth?
Why did I not come forth from the womb and expire?
Why did the knees receive me
and the breasts, that I could suck?
For now I would lie down, and I would be at peace;
I would be asleep; then I would be at rest

KJV 1900King James Version
Why died I not from the womb?
Why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
Why did the knees prevent me?
Or why the breasts that I should suck?
For now should I have lain still and been quiet,
I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
