Why died I not from the womb? {why} did I {not} give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun {is} grievous unto me: for all {is} vanity and vexation of spirit.
For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
A good name {is} better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: {but} weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun {is} grievous unto me: for all {is} vanity and vexation of spirit.
