Jeremiah 20:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible

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.
