Jeremiah 20:14-18

Leeser(i) 14 Cursed be the day whereon I was born: the day on which my mother bore me shall not be blessed. 15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man-child is born unto thee. How very glad did he make him! 16 And may that same man become like the cities which the Lord overthrew, and bethought himself not; and may he hear a cry of anguish in the morning, and a tumultuous noise at noontide; 17 Because I was not slain as I escaped from the womb; or that my mother might have become unto me my grave, and her womb have been affected with a perpetual pregnancy. 18 Wherefore was this that I came forth out of the womb to see trouble and sorrow, that my days should pass away in shame?
