In context

16May that man be like the cities that the LORD overthrew without compassion. May he hear an outcry in the morning and a battle cry at noon,

17Because he did not kill me in the womb so that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb forever enlarged.

18Why did I come out of the womb to see only trouble and sorrow, and to end my days in shame?
