14. Cursed is the day that I was born,the day that my mother gave birth to me.May it not be blessed.
15. Cursed is the man who made my father very happy with the newsthat he had just become the father of a baby boy.
16. May that man be like the citiesthat the Lord destroyed without pity.May he hear a cry of alarm in the morningand a battle cry at noon.
17. If only he had killed me while I was in the womb.Then my mother would have been my grave,and she would have always been pregnant.
18. Why did I come out of the womb?All I’ve seen is trouble and grief.I will finish my days in shame.
