15 Cursed [is] the man who bore tidings [to] my father, saying, `Born to thee hath been a child--a male,' Making him very glad!
16 Then hath that man been as the cities, That Jehovah overthrew, and repented not, And he hath heard a cry at morning, And a shout at time of noon.
17 Because he hath not put me to death from the womb, And my mother is to me--my grave, And her womb a pregnancy age-during.
18 Why [is] this? from the womb I have come out, To see labour and sorrow, Yea, consumed in shame are my days!
