Jeremiah 20:16-18 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

16. May that man be like the townsyou destroyed without pity.Let him hear shouts of alarmin the morningand battle cries at midday.

17. He deserves to diefor not killing mebefore I was born.Then my mother's bodywould have been my grave.

18. Why did I have to be born?Was it just to sufferand die in shame?
