Jeremiah 20:12-14

Revised Standard Version

¹²O Lord of hosts, who triest the righteous,
who seest the heart and the mind,
let me see thy vengeance upon them,
for to thee have I committed my cause.

¹³Sing to the Lord;
praise the Lord!
For he has delivered the life of the needy
from the hand of evildoers.

¹⁴Cursed be the day
on which I was born!
The day when my mother bore me,
let it not be blessed!
