Luke 23:29
For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed[ are] the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
-
Ecclesiastes 6:3-5
If a man beget an hundred[ children], and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also[ that] he have no burial; I say,[ that] an untimely birth[ is] better than he.For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known[ any thing]: this hath more rest than the other.

Matthew 24:19
And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

Job 3:10-16
Because it shut not up the doors of my[ mother’s] womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.Why died I not from the womb?[ why] did I[ not] give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants[ which] never saw light.

Which rejoice exceedingly,[ and] are glad, when they can find the grave?

Job 10:18-19
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

Ecclesiastes 1:14
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all[ is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
-
Psalms 55:6-11
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove![ for then] would I fly away, and be at rest.Lo,[ then] would I wander far off,[ and] remain in the wilderness. Selah.I would hasten my escape from the windy storm[ and] tempest.Destroy, O Lord,[ and] divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow[ are] in the midst of it.Wickedness[ is] in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
-
Jeremiah 9:2-3
Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they[ be] all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.And they bend their tongues[ like] their bow[ for] lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.
-
Ecclesiastes 2:17
Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun[ is] grievous unto me: for all[ is] vanity and vexation of spirit.

Jeremiah 20:17-18
Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb[ to be] always great[ with me].Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
