King James Version with Apocrypha
"Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me."
— Jeremiah 20:17, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.”
“because he slew me not from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great. ”
“because he didn't kill me from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.”
“For he did not kill me before I came from the womb, making my pregnant mother’s womb my grave forever.”
“Who slew me not from the womb, that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb an everlasting conception.”
“Because he did not put me to death before my birth took place: so my mother's body would have been my last resting-place, and she would have been with child for ever.”
Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
And 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;
Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.
Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
