As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
If a man beget a 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.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
but the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
