Is Israel a servant? Is he a native-born [slave]? Why has he become a prey?

For thus says Yahweh concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became the father of them in this land:

Cursed is the day in which I was born: don't let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.

Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, A boy is born to you; making him very glad.

I will cast you out, and your mother who bore you, into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.

your mother shall be utterly disappointed; she who bore you shall be confounded: behold, she shall be the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
