Read in context

Jeremiah 20:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 But the LORD is with me like a fearsome warrior. Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail. Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly put to shame, with an everlasting disgrace that will never be forgotten.

12 O LORD of Hosts, who examines the righteous, who sees the heart and mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them, for to You I have committed my cause.

13 Sing to the LORD! Praise the LORD! For He rescues the life of the needy from the hands of evildoers.

14 Cursed be the day I was born! May the day my mother bore me never be blessed.

15 Cursed be the man who brought my father the news, saying, “A son is born to you,” bringing him great joy.
