Jeremiah 20:13-18 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

13. Sing ye to Jehovah, praise Jehovah, For He hath delivered the soul of the needy From the hand of evil doers.

14. Cursed [is] the day in which I was born, The day that my mother bare me, Let it not be blessed!

15. Cursed [is] the man who bore tidings [to] my father, saying, `Born to thee hath been a child--a male,' Making him very glad!

16. Then hath that man been as the cities, That Jehovah overthrew, and repented not, And he hath heard a cry at morning, And a shout at time of noon.

17. Because he hath not put me to death from the womb, And my mother is to me--my grave, And her womb a pregnancy age-during.

18. Why [is] this? from the womb I have come out, To see labour and sorrow, Yea, consumed in shame are my days!
