Because it shut not up the doors of my {mother's} womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.

Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!

Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants {which} never saw light.

If a man beget an hundred {children}, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also {that} he have no burial; I say, {that} an untimely birth {is} better than he.

Because it shut not up the doors of my {mother's} womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.

Yea, better {is he} than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
