Jeremiah 20:12-18 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
12
O LORD of hosts, who triest the righteous, who seest the heart and the mind, let me see thy vengeance upon them, for to thee have I committed my cause.
13
Sing to the LORD; praise the LORD! For he has delivered the life of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
14
Cursed be the day on which I was born! The day when my mother bore me, let it not be blessed!
15
Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father, "A son is born to you," making him very glad.
16
Let that man be like the cities which the LORD overthrew without pity; let him hear a cry in the morning and an alarm at noon,
17
because he did not kill me in the womb; so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb for ever great.
18
Why did I come forth from the womb to see toil and sorrow, and spend my days in shame?
