Jeremiah 20:14-18
New American Standard Bible 1995
14 Cursed be the (A)day when I was born;
Let the day not be blessed when my mother bore me!
15 Cursed be the man who brought the news
To my father, saying,
“A [a](B)baby boy has been born to you!”
And made him very happy.
16 But let that man be like the cities
Which the Lord (C)overthrew without [b]relenting,
And let him hear an (D)outcry in the morning
And a [c]shout of alarm at noon;
17 Because he did not (E)kill me [d]before birth,
So that my mother would have been my grave,
And her womb ever pregnant.
18 Why did I ever come forth from the womb
To (F)look on trouble and sorrow,
So that my (G)days have been spent in (H)shame?
