Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 3 of Job. Job asks why he was born and why he survived birth. Death is described as a place where social differences disappear and oppression ceases. The passage does not present an abstract doctrine about death, but rather imagines rest from a life that has become unbearable.

Oder wie eine unzeitige Geburt, die man verborgen hat, wäre ich gar nicht, wie Kinder, die das Licht nie gesehen haben.
O ¿por qué no fui escondido como aborto, Como los pequeñitos que nunca vieron luz?
¿Por qué no fui como un aborto oculto, como los niños que nunca vieron la luz?
Ou je n'existerais pas, je serais comme un avorton caché, Comme des enfants qui n'ont pas vu la lumière.
Ovvero anche del tutto non sarei stato, come un abortivo nascosto, Come il feto che non ha veduta la luce.
Ou como aborto oculto, não existiria; como as crianças que não viram a luz.
我為何不像流產的胎兒被埋藏, 如同未見光的嬰孩?
