14 Cursed [is] the day in which I was born, The day that my mother bore me, Let it not be blessed! 15 Cursed [is] the man who bore tidings [to] my father, Saying, "A male child has been born to you," Making him very glad! 16 Then that man has been as the cities, That YHWH overthrew, and did not relent, And he has heard a cry in the morning, And a shout at noontime. 17 Because he has not put me to death from the womb, And my mother is to me—my grave, And her womb [is] a perpetual pregnancy. 18 Why [is] this? I have come out from the womb To see labor and sorrow, Indeed, my days are consumed in shame!
