NETBible

For he did not kill me before I came from the womb, making my pregnant mother’s womb my grave forever. 1 

NET Notes

tn Heb “because he did not kill me from the womb so my mother might be to me for my grave and her womb eternally pregnant.” The sentence structure has been modified and the word “womb” moved from the last line to the next to the last line for English stylistic purposes and greater clarity.
