Philippians 1:21-24
New King James Version
21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I [a]cannot tell. 23 [b]For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a (A)desire to depart and be with Christ, which is (B)far better. 24 Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful 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.
Jeremiah 20:14-18
New King James Version
14 (A)Cursed be the day in which I was born!
Let the day not be blessed in which my mother bore me!
15 Let the man be cursed
Who brought news to my father, saying,
“A male child has been born to you!”
Making him very glad.
16 And let that man be like the cities
Which the Lord (B)overthrew, and did not relent;
Let him (C)hear the cry in the morning
And the shouting at noon,
17 (D)Because he did not kill me from the womb,
That my mother might have been my grave,
And her womb always enlarged with me.
18 (E)Why did I come forth from the womb to (F)see [a]labor and sorrow,
That my days should be consumed with shame?

to see trouble(F) and sorrow
and to end my days in shame?(G)
