Jeremiah 20:14-16
EasyEnglish Bible
14 I would like to curse the day that I was born.
That day was not a happy day,
the day that my mother gave birth to me.
15 That day, a man told my father,
‘Good news! You have a son!’
I would like to curse that man too.
16 May the Lord destroy that man,
as he completely destroyed those cities long ago.[a]
I want that man to hear people who are weeping in the morning.
I want him to hear the noise of battles at noon.
Footnotes
- 20:16 ‘Those cities’ were probably Sodom and Gomorrah that God destroyed. See Genesis 19:24.
