New Testament

Jeremiah 20:14-18 American Standard Version (ASV)

14. Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.

15. Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man-child is born unto thee; making him very glad.

16. And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;

17. because he slew me not from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.

18. Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
