Jeremiah 20:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ Cursed be the one
    who delivered the news to my father,
        “You have a son!”—
        filling him with joy.
¹⁶ May the bearer of that news be like the cities
    that the Lord destroyed without mercy.
May he hear screams in the morning,
    and the battle cries at noon,
¹⁷     because he didn’t kill me in the womb
        and let my mother become my grave,
        her womb pregnant forever.
