Jeremiah Curses the Day of His Birth
14
Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
15
Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man-child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
16
And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;
17
because he slew me not from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
18
Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
