From eternity I was appointed, ¹  from the beginning, from before the world existed. ² 

“I said, ‘I want to cut them in pieces. ¹  I want to make people forget they ever existed.

We existed from ancient times, ¹  but you did not rule over them, they were not your subjects. ² 

I should have been as though I had never existed; ¹  I should have been carried right from the womb to the grave!
