Jeremiah 20:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ Cursed be the man
    who brought the news to my father, saying,
“A child is born to you, a son,”
    making him very glad.
¹⁶ Let that man be like the cities
    that the Lord overthrew without pity;
let him hear a cry in the morning
    and an alarm at noon,
¹⁷ because he did not kill me in the womb;
    so my mother would have been my grave,
    and her womb forever great.
