Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away: Like the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen 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 an hidden untimely birth I had not been; As infants which never saw light
If a man beget an hundred children and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, but his soul be not filled with good, and moreover 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.
and the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
