Jeremiah 20:13-18

13SingH7891 unto Jehovah, praiseH1984 ye Jehovah; for he hath deliveredH5337 the soulH5315 of the needyH34 from the handH3027 of evil-doers.

14CursedH779 beH1961 the dayH3117 wherein I wasH1961 bornH3205: let not the dayH3117 wherein my motherH517 bare me beH1961 blessedH1288. 15CursedH779 be the manH376 who broughtH3205 tidings to my fatherH1, sayingH559, A man-child is bornH3205 unto thee; making him very gladH8055. 16And let that manH376 beH1961 as the citiesH5892 which Jehovah overthrewH2015, and repentedH5162 not: and let him hearH8085 a cryH2201 in the morningH1242, and shoutingH8643 at noontime; 17because he slew me not from the wombH7358; and so my motherH517 would have beenH1961 my graveH6913, and her wombH7358 always great. 18Wherefore cameH3318 I forthH3318 out of the wombH7358 to seeH7200 laborH5999 and sorrowH3015, that my daysH3117 should be consumed with shameH1322?
