Jeremiah 20:14-18
New International Version
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)
Jeremiah 20:14-18
King James Version
14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
16 And let that man be as the cities which the Lord overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;
17 Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.
18 Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

Who brought news to my father, saying,

That my mother might have been my grave,
And her womb always enlarged with me.
