Jeremiah 20:15-17

International Children’s Bible

¹⁵ Let there be a curse on the man
    who brought my father the news:
“You have a son!”
    This made my father glad.
¹⁶ Let that man be like the towns
    the Lord destroyed without pity.
Let that man hear loud crying in the morning.
    And let him hear battle cries at noon.
¹⁷ This is because he did not kill me before I was born.
    Then my mother would have been my grave.
    I would never have been born.
