Jeremiah 20:16 Context
14¶ Cursed be the day wherein I was borne: let not the day wherein my mother bare mee, be blessed. 15Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying: A man child is borne vnto thee, making him very glad. 16And let that man be as the cities which the Lord ouerthrew and repented not: and let him heare the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noonetide, 17Because he slew me not from the wombe: or that my mother might haue beene my graue, and her wombe to be alwaies great with me. 18Wherefore came I forth out of the wombe to see labour and sorrow, that my daies should be consumed with shame?
