Jeremiah 20:13-18

CJB

NIV

13 Sing to ADONAI! Praise ADONAI! For he rescues those in need from the clutches of evildoers.
13 Sing to the LORD! Give praise to the LORD! He rescues the life of the needy from the hands of the wicked.
14 A curse on the day I was born! The day my mother gave birth to me - let it not be blessed!
14 Cursed be the day I was born! May the day my mother bore me not be blessed!
15 A curse on the man who brought the news to my father, "A son has been born to you!" - thus making him very happy.
15 Cursed be the man who brought my father the news, who made him very glad, saying, “A child is born to you—a son!”
16 Let that man be like the cities ADONAI overthrew without mercy! Let him hear cries of alarm in the morning and the sound of battle at noon,
16 May that man be like the towns the LORD overthrew without pity. May he hear wailing in the morning, a battle cry at noon.
17 because God did not put me to death in the womb and let my mother become my grave, her womb forever filled with me.
17 For he did not kill me in the womb, with my mother as my grave, her womb enlarged forever.
18 Why did I have to emerge from the womb, just to see toil and sorrow, and end my days in shame?
18 Why did I ever come out of the womb to see trouble and sorrow and to end my days in shame?
