Commentary for Jeremiah 20:17

אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־מוֹתְתַ֖נִי מֵרָ֑חֶם וַתְּהִי־לִ֤י אִמִּי֙ קִבְרִ֔י וְרַחְמָ֖הֿ הֲרַ֥ת עוֹלָֽם׃

Because He slew me not from the womb; And so my mother would have been my grave, And her womb always great.

Rashi on Jeremiah

That he did not put me to death I.e., that the angel of death did not put me to death from the womb, and this is one of the verses with brief language.
