on which I was born!
The day when my mother bore me,
let it not be blessed!
15Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father,
“A son is born to you,”
jmaking him very glad.
16Let that man be like kthe cities
that the Lord overthrew without pity;
llet him hear a cry in the morning
and an alarm at noon,

and her womb forever great.
18 nWhy did I come out from the womb
oto see toil and sorrow,
and spend my days in shame?
