Jeremiah 20:14-16

New American Standard Bible

¹⁴ Cursed be the ^(A)day when I was born;
May the day when my mother gave birth to me not be blessed!
¹⁵ Cursed be the man who brought the news
To my father, saying,
“A ^[a](B)boy has been born to you!”
And made him very happy.
¹⁶ But may that man be like the cities
Which the Lord ^(C)overthrew without ^[b]relenting,
And may he hear an ^(D)outcry in the morning
And ^[c]an alarm for war at noon;
