Luke 23:29
For behold, the days are coming in which they will say,‘ Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’
-
Ecclesiastes 6:3-5
If a man fathers a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not filled with good, and moreover he has no burial; I say, that a stillborn child is better than he:for it comes in vanity, and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness.Moreover it has not seen the sun nor known it. This has rest rather than the other.

Matthew 24:19
But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!

Job 3:10-16
because it didn’t shut up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.“ Why didn’t I die from the womb? Why didn’t I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should nurse?For now should I have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,with kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves;or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver:or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.

Job 3:22
who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?

Job 10:18-19
“‘ Why, then, have you brought me out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

Ecclesiastes 1:14
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

Psalms 55:6-11
I said,“ Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest.Behold, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness.” Selah.“ I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm.”Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies don’t depart from her streets.

Jeremiah 9:2-3
Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! For they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.“ They bend their tongue, as their bow, for falsehood. They have grown strong in the land, but not for truth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don’t know me,” says Yahweh.
-
Ecclesiastes 2:17
So I hated life, because the work that is worked under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and a chasing after wind.
-
Jeremiah 20:17-18
because he didn’t kill me from the womb. So my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
