Jeremiah 20:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ Let that messenger be destroyed like the cities of old which God overthrew without mercy. Terrify him all day long with battle shouts ¹⁷ because he did not kill me at my birth! Oh, that I had died within my mother’s womb, that it had been my grave! ¹⁸ Why was I ever born? For my life has been but trouble and sorrow and shame.
