Jeremiah 20:13-18

13SingH7891 unto YhwhH3068, praiseH1984 ye YhwhH3068: for he hath deliveredH5337 the soulH5315 of the poorH34 from the handH3027 of evildoersH7489.

14CursedH779 be the dayH3117 wherein I was bornH3205: let not the dayH3117 wherein my motherH517 bareH3205 me be blessedH1288. 15CursedH779 be the manH376 who brought tidingsH1319 to my fatherH1, sayingH559, A manH2145 childH1121 is bornH3205 unto thee; making him veryH8055 gladH8055. 16And let that manH376 be as the citiesH5892 which YhwhH3068 overthrewH2015, and repentedH5162 not: and let him hearH8085 the cryH2201 in the morningH1242, and the shoutingH8643 at noontideH6672H6256; 17Because he slewH4191 me not from the wombH7358; or that my motherH517 might have been my graveH6913, and her wombH7358 to be alwaysH5769 greatH2030 with me. 18Wherefore came I forthH3318 out of the wombH7358 to seeH7200 labourH5999 and sorrowH3015, that my daysH3117 should be consumedH3615 with shameH1322?
