11. Wherefore died I not in my mothers womb? wherefore did I not yield up the Ghost as soon as I was come out of her womb? 12. Wherefore did the knees receive me? wherefore have I sucked the teats? 13. For now should I have lien still and taken my rest: I should be in quiet, and there were rest for me, 14. With the Kings and Counsellors of the earth, which build the desert places, 15. With the Princes that have gold, and which hoard up Silver in their house. 16. Or I should be but as an untie mely birth that is hidden, or as an infant that hath not seen the light. 17. There the wicked rest from their trouble, there they that have travelled lie at rest. 18. There the prisoners rest together, and no man heareth the voice of the extortioner. 19. There the great and the small are equal, and the servant is free from his master.
