¹⁴ Cursed is the day that I was born,
    the day that my mother gave birth to me.
        May it not be blessed.
¹⁵ Cursed is the man who made my father very happy with the news
    that he had just become the father of a baby boy.
¹⁶ May that man be like the cities
    that Yahweh destroyed without pity.
    May he hear a cry of alarm in the morning
    and a battle cry at noon.
