Jeremiah 20:14-18
Legacy Standard Bible
14 Cursed be the (A)day when I was born;
Let the day not be blessed when my mother bore me!
15 Cursed be the man who brought the good news
To my father, saying,
“A [a](B)baby boy has been born to you!”
And made him very glad.
16 But let that man be like the cities
Which Yahweh (C)overthrew without [b]relenting,
And let him hear an (D)outcry in the morning
And a [c]shout of war at noon,
17 Because he did not (E)put me to death from the womb,
So that my mother would have been my grave,
And her womb ever pregnant.
18 Why did I ever come forth from the womb
To (F)look on trouble and sorrow,
So that my (G)days have been spent in (H)shame?
