15 Cursed be the man
    who brought the news to my father, saying,
‘A child is born to you, a son’,
    making him very glad.
16 Let that man be like the cities
    that the Lord overthrew without pity;

    and an alarm at noon,
17 because he did not kill me in the womb;
    so my mother would have been my grave,
    and her womb for ever great.

    with my mother as my grave,
    her womb enlarged forever.
