Exodus 21:22
KJV: If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
NKJV: If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit departs from her, and yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman's husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
NIV: If people are fighting and hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman's husband demands and the court allows.
Interpretation: The verse addresses harm to a pregnant woman that causes premature birth. It shows that causing harm to an unborn child is a serious offense. The law requires punishment and compensation for such harm. The verse recognizes the value of unborn life. Harming a pregnant woman and her child brings consequences. The law protects both the mother and the unborn child.

Job 3:16
KJV: Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
NKJV: Or like a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants who never saw light.
NIV: Or why was I not hidden away in the ground like a stillborn child, like an infant who never saw the light of day?
Interpretation: Job wishes he had been like a stillborn child who never saw light. He expresses deep pain and wishes he had never been born. The verse shows Job's anguish during his suffering. He feels that being stillborn would have been better than his current pain. The verse expresses Job's honest feelings, not a statement about the value of life. Job's wish shows the depth of his suffering. The verse teaches that severe suffering can lead to despair. However, Job's feelings do not represent God's view of life's value.
Ecclesiastes 6:3
KJV: If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.
NKJV: If a man begets a hundred children and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not satisfied with goodness, and also he has no burial, I say that a stillborn child is better than he—
NIV: A man may have a hundred children and live many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he cannot enjoy his prosperity and does not receive proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.
Interpretation: The verse compares a man with many children and long life to a stillborn child. If the man's soul is not satisfied with goodness, the stillborn child is better off. The verse shows that quantity of life means nothing without quality. A long life without satisfaction is worse than never being born. The verse teaches that finding satisfaction in life is important. Living many years without enjoying God's goodness is meaningless. The comparison to a stillborn child shows the emptiness of a life without satisfaction. True satisfaction comes from God, not from long life or many children.

NKJV: They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons,
NIV: They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to false gods.
Interpretation: The verse describes how people sacrificed their children to false gods. This practice involved killing children, which is a form of infanticide. The verse shows the terrible consequences of turning away from God. People who reject God may commit terrible acts against children. The verse warns against practices that destroy innocent life.

NIV: Also on your clothes is found the lifeblood of the innocent poor, though you did not catch them breaking in. Yet in spite of all this
