Jeremiah 20:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ Cursed be the day
    on which I was born!
May the day when my mother bore me
    be forever unblessed.
¹⁵ Cursed be the man
    who brought the news to my father.
“A child, a son, has been born to you,”
    thereby bringing great joy to his heart.
¹⁶ Let that man be like the cities
    that the Lord overthrew without mercy.
Let him hear the cry of warning in the morning
    and shouts of battle at noon
