Jeremiah 20:14-16

Contemporary English Version

^14 (A) Put a curse on the day I was born!
    Don't bless that day.
¹⁵ Put a curse on the man
who told my father, “Good news!
    You have a son.”
¹⁶ May that man be like the towns
    you destroyed without pity.
Let him hear shouts of alarm
in the morning
    and battle cries at noon.
