Or why was I not buried like a stillborn infant, like infants who have never seen the light?

Let them be like a snail that melts away as it moves along! Let them be like stillborn babies that never see the sun!

Even if a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years – even if he lives a long, long time, but cannot enjoy his prosperity – even if he were to live forever – I would say, “A stillborn child is better off than he is!”
