Jeremiah 20:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ Cursed be the day that I was born.
    May the day my mother gave birth to me not be blessed.
¹⁵ Cursed be the one
    who delivered the news to my father,
        “You have a son!”—
        filling him with joy.
¹⁶ May the bearer of that news be like the cities
    that the Lord destroyed without mercy.
May he hear screams in the morning,
    and the battle cries at noon,
