Jeremiah 20:17-18 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

17. So let him be, who did not put me to death from the womb, so that my mother would have been my sepulcher, and her womb would have been my eternal resting place!

18. Why did I depart from the womb, so that I would see hardship and sorrow, and so that my days would be consumed by trouble?"
