Jeremiah 20:14-16

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ Cursed be the day
    on which I was born!
The day when my mother bore me,
    let it not be blessed!
¹⁵ Cursed be the man
    who brought the news to my father,
“A son is born to you,”
    making him very glad.
¹⁶ Let that man be like the cities
    which the Lord overthrew without pity;
let him hear a cry in the morning
    and an alarm at noon,
