14Cursed be the day I was born!
May the day my mother bore me never be blessed.
15Cursed be the man who brought my father the news,
saying, “A son is born to you,”
bringing him great joy.
16May that man be like the cities
that the LORD overthrew without compassion.
May he hear an outcry in the morning
and a battle cry at noon,
— Jeremiah 20:14-16
