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!

Verse 18 is found in chapter 10 of Job. Job considers the possibility that suffering may have been hidden within God’s purpose, although he cannot understand it. If he is guilty, he fears judgment; if he is righteous, he still experiences affliction. Finally, he asks God to turn his gaze away so that he may enjoy some rest before dying.

Warum hast du mich aus Mutterleib kommen lassen? Ach, daß ich wäre umgekommen und mich nie ein Auge gesehen hätte!
¿Por qué me sacaste de la matriz? Habría yo espirado, y no me vieran ojos.
¿Por qué me sacaste del vientre? ¡Ojalá hubiera expirado sin que ningún ojo me viera!
Pourquoi m'as-tu fait sortir du sein de ma mère? Je serais mort, et aucun oeil ne m'aurait vu;
Perchè dunque mi hai tratto fuor della matrice? Io vi sarei spirato, e l’occhio d’alcuno non mi avrebbe veduto.
Por que, pois, me tiraste da madre? Ah! se então tivera expirado, e olho nenhum me visse!
「你為何使我出母胎呢? 甚願我當時氣絕,沒有眼睛看見我。
