Jeremiah 20:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ And let that man be as the cities which the LORD has overturned without relent. And let him hear the cry in the morning and the shouting at noon,

¹⁷ because he did not kill me in the womb, so that my mother might have been my grave, or her womb a perpetual conception.

¹⁸ How is it that I came forth from the womb to see labor and sorrow, so that my days should be consumed with shame?
