Jeremiah 20:14-18

Jeremiah 20:14-18 CSB

May the day I was born be cursed.  May the day my mother bore me never be blessed. May the man be cursed who brought the news to my father, saying, “A male child is born to you,” bringing him great joy. Let that man be like the cities the LORD demolished without compassion.  Let him hear an outcry in the morning  and a war cry at noontime because he didn’t kill me in the womb  so that my mother might have been my grave, her womb eternally pregnant. Why did I come out of the womb to see only struggle and sorrow,  to end my life in shame?
