Jeremiah 20:15-17

15Cursed be the man who brought the news To my father, saying, “A 1 2baby boy has been born to you!” And made him very happy.16But let that man be like the cities Which the Lord 3overthrew without 4relenting, And let him hear an 5outcry in the morning And a 6shout of alarm at noon;17Because he did not 7kill me 8before birth, So that my mother would have been my grave, And her womb ever pregnant.
