ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૨૦:૧૭
કેમ કે, ગર્ભસ્થાનમાંથી જ મને બહાર આવતાની ઘડીએ જ તેણે મને મારી ન નાખ્યો, એમ થાત તો, મારી માતા જ મારી કબર બની હોત, તેનું ગર્ભસ્થાન સદાને માટે રહ્યું હોત.
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह २०:१७
क्योंकि उसने मुझे गर्भ ही में न मार डाला कि मेरी माता का गर्भाशय ही मेरी कब्र होती, और मैं उसी में सदा पड़ा रहता।

In context

15Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, “A boy is born to you,” making him very glad.

16Let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and didn’t repent. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime,

17because he didn’t kill me from the womb. So my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.

18Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
