Jeremiah 20:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ Sing to the Lord, you people!
    Give praise to him!
He saves the lives of people in need.
    He saves them from the power of sinful people.

¹⁴ May the day I was born be cursed!
    May the day I was born to my mother not be blessed!
¹⁵ May the man who brought my father the news be cursed!
    He’s the one who made my father very glad.
    He said, “You have had a baby! It’s a boy!”
