Matthew 26:24

The son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the son of man shall be betrayed. It had been good for that man, if he had never been born."

Ecclesiastes 4:2-3

Wherefore I judged those that are dead, to be more happy than such as be alive. Yea, him that is yet unborn to be better at ease than they both, because he seeth not the miserable works that are done under the Sun.

Job 3:1-19

After this, opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day, and said, "Let the day perish, wherein I was born, and the night in the which it was said, 'There is a man child conceived.'read more.
The same day be turned to darkness, and not regarded of God from above, neither let the light shine upon it: but let it be stained with darkness, and the shadow of death. Let the dim cloud fall upon it, and let it be lapped in with sorrow. Let the dark storm overcome that night; let it not be reckoned among the days of the year, nor counted in the months. Despised be that night, and discommended: let them that curse the day, give it their curse also, even those that be ready to raise vp Leviathan. Let the stars of that night be dim through darkness of it. Let it look for light, but let it see none, neither the raising up of the fair morning: because it shut not up the womb that bare me. For then should these sorrows have been hid from mine eyes. "Alas, why died I not in the birth? Why did not I perish, as soon as I came out of my mother's womb? Why set they me upon their knees? Why gave they me suck with their breasts? Then should I now have lain still; I should have slept, and been at rest, like as the kings and lords of the earth, which build themselves special places: As the princes that have great substance of gold, and their houses full of silver. O that I utterly had no being, or were as a thing born out of time that is put aside, either as young children, which never saw the light. There, must the wicked cease from their tyranny, there such as are overlaboured be at rest. There, are those let out free which have been in prison, so that they hear no more the voice of the oppressor. There, are small and great; the bondman, and he that is free from his master.

Job 3:16

O that I utterly had no being, or were as a thing born out of time that is put aside, either as young children, which never saw the light.

Job 10:19

If they had carried me to my grave as soon as I was born, then should I be now, as though I had never been.

Jeremiah 15:10

O mother, alas that ever thou didst bear me, an enemy and hated of the whole land: Though I never lent nor received upon usury, yet all men speak evil upon me.

Mark 14:21

The son of man goeth, as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the son of man is betrayed. Good were it for him, if that man had never been born."
