12Wherefore have knees been before me? And what are breasts, that I suck?


In Context

9 Let the stars of its twilight be dark, Let it wait for light, and there is none, And let it not look on the eyelids of the dawn.

10 Because it hath not shut the doors Of the womb that was mine! And hide misery from mine eyes.

11 Why from the womb do I not die? From the belly I have come forth and gasp!

12 Wherefore have knees been before me? And what are breasts, that I suck?

13 For now, I have lain down, and am quiet, I have slept — then there is rest to me,

14 With kings and counsellors of earth, These building wastes for themselves.
