11WhyH4100 did I not perishH3808H4191 at birthH7358; why did I not dieH1478 as I cameH3318 from the wombH990?12WhyH4069 were there kneesH1290 to receive meH6923, and breastsH7699 thatH3588 I should be nursedH3243?13ForH3588 nowH6258 I would be lying downH7901 in peaceH8252; I would be asleepH3462 andH227 at restH511714withH5973 kingsH4428 and counselorsH3289 of the earthH776, who builtH1129 for themselves cities now in ruinsH2723,15orH176 withH5973 princesH8269 who had goldH2091, who filledH4390 their housesH1004 with silverH3701.16OrH176 why wasH1961 I notH3808 hiddenH2934 like a stillborn childH5309, like an infantH5768 who neverH3808 seesH7200 daylightH216?17ThereH8033 the wickedH7563 ceaseH2308 from ragingH7267, and thereH8033 the wearyH3019H3581 find restH5117.18The captivesH615 enjoyH3162 their easeH7599; they do notH3808 hearH8085 the voiceH6963 of the oppressorH5065.19Both smallH6996 and greatH1419 are thereH8033H1931, and the slaveH5650 is freedH2670 from his masterH113.
