Jeremiah 20:13-18
131SingH7891 to the LordH3068, praiseH1984 the LordH3068! For He has 2deliveredH5337 the soulH5315 of the needyH34 oneH34 From the handH3027 of evildoersH7489.
14CursedH779 be the 3dayH3117 whenH834 I was bornH3205; Let the dayH3117 not be blessedH1288 whenH834 my motherH517 boreH3205 me!15CursedH779 be the manH376 whoH834 broughtH1319 the newsH1319 To my fatherH1, sayingH559, “A 45babyH1121 boyH2145 has been bornH3205 to you!” And made him veryH8055 happyH8055.16But let that manH376 be like the citiesH5892 WhichH834 the LordH3068 6overthrewH2015 withoutH3808 7relentingH5162, And let him hearH8085 an 8outcryH2201 in the morningH1242 And a 9shoutH8643 of alarmH8643 at noonH6672;17BecauseH834 he did not 10killH4191 me 11beforeH4480 birthH7358, So that my motherH517 would have beenH1961 my graveH6913, And her wombH7358 everH5769 pregnantH2030.18WhyH4100 did I everH2088 comeH3318 forthH3318 from the wombH7358 To 12lookH7200 on troubleH5999 and sorrowH3015, So that my 13daysH3117 have beenH3615 spentH3615 in 14shameH1322?
