New Testament

Jeremiah 20:13-18 King James Version (KJV)

13. Sing unto the Lord, praise ye the Lord: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.

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 the Lord overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;

17. Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.

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