Jeremiah 20:14-18
14Cursed be the day I was born! May that day not be blessed when my mother gave birth to me.
15Cursed be the man who made my father very glad when he brought him the news that a baby boy had been born to him!
16May that man be like the cities that the Lord destroyed without showing any mercy. May he hear a cry of distress in the morning and a battle cry at noon.
17For he did not kill me before I came from the womb, making my pregnant mother’s womb my grave forever.
18Why did I ever come forth from my mother’s womb? All I experience is trouble and grief, and I spend my days in shame.
