Jeremiah 20:14-18

NSB(i) 14 Cursed is the day when I was born. Let the day not be blessed when my mother bore me! 15 Cursed is the man who brought the news to my father, saying: »A baby boy has been born to you!« He made him very happy. 16 But let that man be like the cities Jehovah overthrew without relenting. Let him hear an outcry in the morning and a shout of alarm at noon. 17 He did not kill me 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 look on trouble and sorrow? My days have been spent in shame!
