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)

Jeremiah Denounces His Persecutors
7 O Lord, you have enticed me,
and I was enticed;
you have overpowered me,
and you have prevailed.
I have become a laughingstock all day long;
everyone mocks me.(A)
8 For whenever I speak, I must cry out;
I must shout, “Violence and destruction!”
For the word of the Lord has become for me
a reproach and derision all day long.(B)
9 If I say, “I will not mention him
or speak any more in his name,”
then within me there is something like a burning fire
shut up in my bones;
I am weary with holding it in,
and I cannot.(C)

11 So Moses said to the Lord, “Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why have I not found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me? 12 Did I conceive all this people? Did I give birth to them, that you should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom as a wet nurse carries a nursing child, to the land that you promised on oath to their ancestors’?(A) 13 Where am I to get meat to give to all this people? For they come weeping to me, saying, ‘Give us meat to eat!’(B) 14 I am not able to carry all this people alone, for they are too heavy for me.(C) 15 If this is the way you are going to treat me, put me to death at once—if I have found favor in your sight—and do not let me see my misery.”(D)

Surely it was better for us in Egypt.” Therefore the Lord will give you meat, and you shall eat.(G) 19 You shall eat not only one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days,(H)
