7 Bible Verses about Never Being Born

the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up! good it were for him if that man had not been born.'

And I am praising the dead who have already died above the living who are yet alive. And better than both of them is he who hath not yet been, in that he hath not seen the evil work that hath been done under the sun.

After this hath Job opened his mouth, and revileth his day. And Job answereth and saith: -- Let the day perish in which I am born, And the night that hath said: 'A man-child hath been conceived.'read more.
That day -- let it be darkness, Let not God require it from above, Nor let light shine upon it. Let darkness and death-shade redeem it, Let a cloud tabernacle upon it, Let them terrify it as the most bitter of days. That night -- let thick darkness take it, Let it not be united to days of the year, Into the number of months let it not come. Lo! that night -- let it be gloomy, Let no singing come into it. Let the cursers of day mark it, Who are ready to wake up Leviathan. Let the stars of its twilight be dark, Let it wait for light, and there is none, And let it not look on the eyelids of the dawn. Because it hath not shut the doors Of the womb that was mine! And hide misery from mine eyes. Why from the womb do I not die? From the belly I have come forth and gasp! Wherefore have knees been before me? And what are breasts, that I suck? For now, I have lain down, and am quiet, I have slept -- then there is rest to me, With kings and counsellors of earth, These building wastes for themselves. Or with princes -- they have gold, They are filling their houses with silver. (Or as a hidden abortion I am not, As infants -- they have not seen light.) There the wicked have ceased troubling, And there rest do the wearied in power. Together prisoners have been at ease, They have not heard the voice of an exactor, Small and great are there the same. And a servant is free from his lord.

(Or as a hidden abortion I am not, As infants -- they have not seen light.)

As I had not been, I am, From the belly to the grave I am brought,

Woe to me, my mother, For thou hast borne me a man of strife, And a man of contention to all the land, I have not lent on usury, Nor have they lent on usury to me -- All of them are reviling me.

the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up; good were it to him if that man had not been born.'
