Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away, Like the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun.

Let them be like an after-birth which is turned to water and comes to an end; like the fruit of a woman who gives birth before her time, let them not see the sun.

Ως κοχλιας διαλυομενος ας παρελθωσιν· ως εξαμβλωμα γυναικος ας μη ιδωσι τον ηλιον.

As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
