Ecclesiastes 6:3-5
If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, however many they may be, but his soul is not satisfied with good things and he does not even have a proper burial, then I say,“ Better the miscarriage than he,for a miscarriage comes in futility and goes into darkness; and its name is covered in darkness.It has not even seen the sun nor does it know it; yet it is better off than that man.

Job 3:10-16
Because it did not shut the opening of my mother’s womb, Or hide trouble from my eyes.“ Why did I not die at birth, Come out of the womb and pass away?Why were the knees there in front of me, And why the breasts, that I would nurse?For now I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept then, I would have been at rest,With kings and counselors of the earth, Who rebuilt ruins for themselves;Or with rulers who had gold, Who were filling their houses with silver.Or like a miscarriage which is hidden, I would not exist, As infants that never saw light.

Psalms 55:6-11
I said,“ Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.Behold, I would flee far away, I would spend my nights in the wilderness. SelahI would hurry to my place of refuge From the stormy wind and heavy gale.”Confuse them, Lord, divide their tongues, For I have seen violence and strife in the city.Day and night they go around her upon her walls, And evil and harm are in her midst.Destruction is in her midst; Oppression and deceit do not depart from her streets.

Jeremiah 9:2-3
Oh that I had in the desert A travelers’ lodging place; So that I might leave my people And go away from them! For all of them are adulterers, An assembly of treacherous people.“ They bend their tongues like their bows; Lies and not truth prevail in the land; For they proceed from evil to evil, And they do not know Me,” declares the Lord.

Ecclesiastes 2:17
So I hated life, for the work which had been done under the sun was unhappy to me; because everything is futility and striving after wind.

Jeremiah 20:17-18
Because he did not kill me before birth, So that my mother would have been my grave, And her womb forever pregnant.Why did I ever come out of the womb To look at trouble and sorrow, So that my days have been spent in shame?
