Jeremiah 20:15-17

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁵ Cursed is the man who made my father very happy with the news
that he had just become the father of a baby boy.
¹⁶ May that man be like the cities
that the Lord destroyed without pity.
May he hear a cry of alarm in the morning
and a battle cry at noon.
¹⁷ If only he had killed me while I was in the womb.
Then my mother would have been my grave,
and she would have always been pregnant.
