Jeremiah’s Lament
14 May the day I was born
be cursed.(A)
May the day my mother bore me
never be blessed.
15 May the man be cursed
who brought the news to my father, saying,
“A male child is born to you,”
bringing him great joy.
16 Let that man be like the cities
the Lord demolished without compassion.(B)
Let him hear an outcry in the morning(C)
and a war cry at noontime
17 because he didn’t kill me in the womb(D)
so that my mother might have been my grave,
her womb eternally pregnant.
18 Why did I come out of the womb
to see only struggle and sorrow,(E)
to end my life in shame?
Unrepentant Towns
13 “Woe(A) to you,(B) Chorazin!(C) Woe to you, Bethsaida!(D) For if the miracles(E) that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon,(F) they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes!(G) 14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment(H) than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum,(I) will you be exalted to heaven?(J) No, you will go down to Hades!(K) 16 Whoever listens to you listens to Me.(L) Whoever rejects you rejects Me.(M) And whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”(N)
