我為甚麼要出母胎，經歷勞苦和憂傷，並且我的年日都消逝在羞辱之中呢？

以致我寧可窒息而死，也不肯保留我這一身的骨頭。我厭惡自己，不願永遠活下去。任憑我吧，因為我的日子都是空虛的。

她心裡愁苦，就向耶和華禱告，流淚痛哭，

要把烈酒給將要滅亡的人喝；把酒給心裡愁苦的人喝；

她來到山上神人那裡，就抱住神人的腳；基哈西上前要推開她，但神人說：“由她吧，因為她的心靈很痛苦。耶和華隱瞞我，沒有告訴我。”

願他樂意把我壓碎，願他放手把我剪除。

他救贖我的性命免入深坑，我的生命必得見光明。’

我為甚麼不像暗中流產的胎，未見天日的嬰孩，歸於無有呢？

要把人的性命從深坑裡救回來，好使活人之光光照他。
