I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

And now says LORD who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him (for I am honorable in the eyes of LORD, and my God has become my strength),

Why did I come forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
