16Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants that have not seen the light.


In Context

13 For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, who build desolate places for themselves,

15 Or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver;

16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants that have not seen the light.

17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the wearied are at rest.

18 The prisoners together are at ease; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
