Jeremiah 20:14-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 Cursed be the day
on which I was born!
The day when my mother bore me,
let it not be blessed!(A)
15 Cursed be the man
who brought the news to my father, saying,
“A child is born to you, a son,”
making him very glad.(B)
16 Let that man be like the cities
that the Lord overthrew without pity;
let him hear a cry in the morning
and an alarm at noon,(C)
17 because he did not kill me in the womb;
so my mother would have been my grave
and her womb forever pregnant.(D)
18 Why did I come forth from the womb
to see toil and sorrow
and spend my days in shame?(E)

14 Cursed be the day I was born!(A)
May the day my mother bore me not be blessed!
15 Cursed be the man who brought my father the news,
who made him very glad, saying,
“A child is born to you—a son!”
16 May that man be like the towns(B)
the Lord overthrew without pity.
May he hear wailing(C) in the morning,
a battle cry at noon.
17 For he did not kill me in the womb,(D)
with my mother as my grave,
her womb enlarged forever.
18 Why did I ever come out of the womb(E)
to see trouble(F) and sorrow
and to end my days in shame?(G)

Philippians 1:21-24
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
21 For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain. 22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me, yet I cannot say which I will choose. 23 I am hard pressed between the two: my desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better,(A) 24 but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for you.

21 For to me, to live is Christ(A) and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart(B) and be with Christ,(C) which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
