Jeremiah 20:14-18 - Jeremiah's Sixth Complaint

¹⁴ Cursed be the day in which I was born: let not the day in which my mother bore me be blessed. ¹⁵ Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A male child is born to 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 noon; ¹⁷ Because he slew me not at my birth; or that my mother might have been my grave, and she had not been delivered. ¹⁸ Why was I brought into the world to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
