Though it never saw the sun or knew anything, it has more rest than does that man—

It didn’t even see the sun. It didn’t know anything at all. But it has more rest than that man does.

Moreover, it has not seen the sun or known anything, yet it finds rest rather than he.

Though a stillborn child does not see the sun and is not conscious, it has more rest than he.

It has not even seen the sun nor does it know it; yet it is better off than that man.

Though it has not seen the sun or known anything, this has more rest than that man,

moreover it hath not seen the sun nor known it; this hath rest rather than the other:

Though a stillborn child does not see the sun and is not conscious, it has more rest than he.

Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known[ any thing]: this hath more rest than the other.

though it never saw the light of day nor knew anything, yet it has more rest than that man–

Moreover it has not seen the sun nor known it. This has rest rather than the other.

Curse that day for failing to shut my mother’s womb, for letting me be born to see all this trouble.“ Why wasn’t I born dead? Why didn’t I die as I came from the womb?Why was I laid on my mother’s lap? Why did she nurse me at her breasts?Had I died at birth, I would now be at peace. I would be asleep and at rest.

“ How frail is humanity! How short is life, how full of trouble!

We wither beneath your anger; we are overwhelmed by your fury.You spread out our sins before you— our secret sins— and you see them all.We live our lives beneath your wrath, ending our years with a groan.
