Jeremiah 20:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ I would like to curse the day that I was born.
That day was not a happy day,
    the day that my mother gave birth to me.
¹⁵ That day, a man told my father,
    ‘Good news! You have a son!’
I would like to curse that man too.
¹⁶ May the Lord destroy that man,
    as he completely destroyed those cities long ago.^[a]
I want that man to hear people who are weeping in the morning.
    I want him to hear the noise of battles at noon.
