14 May the day I was born be cursed! May the day my mother gave birth to me never be blessed! 15 May the man be cursed who brought my father the news that made him really happy, saying, "You have a son." 16 May that man be like the towns that the Lord destroyed without mercy. May he hear shouts of alarm in the morning and war cries at noon, 17 because he should have killed me in the womb so that my mother would have been my grave, remaining pregnant forever. 18 Why was I born only to see trouble and sadness, and to end my life in shame?
