Jeremiah 20:12-14

New Living Translation

¹² O Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
you test those who are righteous,
    and you examine the deepest thoughts and secrets.
Let me see your vengeance against them,
    for I have committed my cause to you.
¹³ Sing to the Lord!
    Praise the Lord!
For though I was poor and needy,
    he rescued me from my oppressors.

¹⁴ Yet I curse the day I was born!
    May no one celebrate the day of my birth.
