15 Cursed is the man who made my father very happy with the newsthat he had just become the father of a baby boy.
16 May that man be like the citiesthat the Lord destroyed without pity.May he hear a cry of alarm in the morningand a battle cry at noon.
17 If only he had killed me while I was in the womb.Then my mother would have been my grave,and she would have always been pregnant.
18 Why did I come out of the womb?All I’ve seen is trouble and grief.I will finish my days in shame.
