Jeremiah 20:12-16

Yet, Lord of armies, who tests the righteous, Who sees the mind and the heart; Let me see Your vengeance on them, For to You I have disclosed my cause.

Sing to the Lord, praise the Lord! For He has saved the soul of the needy one From the hand of evildoers.

Cursed be the day when I was born; May the day when my mother gave birth to me not be blessed!

Cursed be the man who brought the news To my father, saying, “A boy has been born to you!” And made him very happy.

But may that man be like the cities Which the Lord overthrew without relenting, And may he hear an outcry in the morning And an alarm for war at noon;
