"For you formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother's womb.
I will praise You, for You are fearful

Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
You have seen me, and are acquainted with my way;
You have observed my every step.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
You have formed my days, when as yet there were none of them!
And then You caused me to be, and You brought me forth from the womb."
2. Isaiah 49:1-5 - This passage describes God's purpose for a person even before they are born:

O distant ones! The Lord has spoken:
To Karath-Harsith,
Who remains,
Israel, whom I have formed,
Even to create!
And you are not wanted.
But Israel is not willing,
Nor the people of Karath-Harsith.
Therefore the Lord does not accept them,
But will remember for His servants,
For He sees that You are insignificant,
A worm; but You shall be afraid,
And You shall take Your counsel, And it shall become fire to you
When the Lord is ready.
Thus says the Lord:
You are My servant,
Israel, in whom I will be glorified."

From my mother's womb? Did I not come forth to the eye?
And should I not have been full of formless dust
In the darkness where you are?"
