and a descendant of the first one formed of earth.[a]
And in my mother’s womb I was molded into flesh
Ecclesiastes 11:5

5 Just as you do not know how the life breath
enters the human frame in the mother’s womb,
So you do not know the work of God,
who is working in everything.(A)

21 He said,
“Naked I came forth from my mother’s womb,(A)
and naked shall I go back there.[a]
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;
blessed be the name of the Lord!”
