11 “Why didn’t I die as soon as I was bornand breathe my last breath when I came out of the womb?
12 Why did knees welcome me?Why did breasts let me nurse?
13 Instead of being alive,I would now be quietly lying down.I would now be sleeping peacefully.
14 I would be with the kings and the counselors of the worldwho built for themselves ⌊what are now⌋ ruins.
15 I would be with princeswho had gold,who filled their homes with silver.
16 I would be buried like a stillborn baby.I would not exist.I would be like infants who never saw the light.
17 There the wicked stop their raging.There the weary are able to rest.
