11. Wherefore did I not die from the womb, --come forth from the belly and expire?
12. Why did the knees meet me? and wherefore the breasts, that I should suck?
13. For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
14. With kings and counsellors of the earth, who build desolate places for themselves,
15. Or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver;
16. Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants that have not seen the light.
17. There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the wearied are at rest.
18. The prisoners together are at ease; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
19. The small and great are there, and the bondman freed from his master.
