Jeremiah 20:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ Let that man be as the cities that the Lord hath overthrown, and hath not repented: let him hear a cry in the morning, and howling at noontide:

¹⁷ Who slew me not from the womb, that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb an everlasting conception.

¹⁸ Why came I out of the womb, to see labour and sorrow, and that my days should be spent in confusion?
