Luke 23:29
For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.
-
Ecclesiastes 6:3-5
If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years are 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:for it cometh in vanity, and departeth in darkness, and the name thereof is covered with darkness;moreover it hath not seen the sun nor known it; this hath rest rather than the other:

Matthew 24:19
But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!
-
Job 3:10-16
Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb, Nor hid trouble from mine eyes.Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me?Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breasts, that I should suck?For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest,With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves;Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver:Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants that never saw light.
-
Job 3:22
Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad, when they can find the grave?
-
Job 10:18-19
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me.I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

Ecclesiastes 1:14
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.
-
Psalms 55:6-11
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then would I fly away, and be at rest.Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness.[ SelahI would haste me to a shelter From the stormy wind and tempest.Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; For I have seen violence and strife in the city.Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: Iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.Wickedness is in the midst thereof: Oppression and guile depart not from its streets.
-
Jeremiah 9:2-3
Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging- place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.And they bend their tongue, as it were their bow, for falsehood; and they are grown strong in the land, but not for truth: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith Jehovah.
-
Ecclesiastes 2:17
So I hated life, because the work that is wrought under the sun was grievous unto me; for all is vanity and a striving after wind.
-
Jeremiah 20:17-18
because he slew me not from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
