7 Bible Verses about Never Being Born

The Son of Man, indeed, goeth his way, according as it is written concerning him, - But alas! for that man, through whom the Son of Man, is being delivered up: Well, had it been for him, if, that man, had not been born!

So, I, pronounced happy the dead, who were, already, dead, - more than the living, who were living, still; and, as better than both, him who had not yet come into being, - who had not seen the vexatious work, which was done under the sun.

After this, opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. So then Job began, and said: Perish, the day wherein I was born, and the night it was said, Lo! a manchild!read more.
That day, be it darkness, - Let not God enquire after it from above, May there shine upon it no clear beam: Let darkness and death-shade buy it back, May there settle down upon it a cloud, Let a day's dark eclipse cause it terror: That night, darkness take it, - May it not rejoice among the days of the year, Into the number of months, let it not enter. Lo! that night, be it barren, Let no joyous shouting enter therein: Let day-cursers denounce it, Those skilled in rousing the dragon of the sky: Darkened be the stars of its twilight, - Let it wait for light, and there be none, neither let it see the eyelashes of the dawn: Because it closed not the doors of the womb wherein I was, and so hid trouble from mine eyes. Wherefore, in the womb, did I not die? From the womb, come forth and cease to breathe? For what reason, were there prepared for me - knees? and why - breasts, that I might suck? Surely, at once, had I lain down, and been quiet, I had fallen asleep, then, had I been at rest: With kings, and counselors of the earth, who had built them pyramids: Or with rulers possessing, gold, - Who had filled their houses with silver: Or that, like an untimely birth hidden away, I had not come into being, like infants that never saw light: There, the lawless, cease from raging, and there the toil-worn are at rest: At once are prisoners at peace, they hear not the voice of a driver: Small and great, there, they are, and, the slave, is free from his master.

Or that, like an untimely birth hidden away, I had not come into being, like infants that never saw light:

As though I had not been, should I have become, - from the womb to the grave, might I have been borne.

Woe to me! my mother, That thou didst bear me, A man of litigation and a man of contention to all the land, - I have not lent on interest Nor have they lent on interest to me, Every one, hath treated me with contempt.

Because, the Son of Man, indeed, goeth his way, - according as it is written concerning him; but alas! for that man, through whom the Son of Man is being delivered up, - Well for him, if that man, had not been born!
