16 Let that man be like the cities the Lord destroyed.[a]
    He had no pity on them.
Let him hear shouts of war in the morning;
    let him hear battle cries at noontime,
17 because he did not kill me
    while I was in my mother’s womb.
If he had killed me then,
    my mother would have been my grave,
    and I would not have been born.
18 Why did I have to come out of her body?
    All I have seen is trouble and sorrow,
    and my life will end in shame.
