Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 17 of 18
"Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb always great ."
In context
15Cursed the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
16And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;
17Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb always great .
18Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
