Jeremiah 20:15-17 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

15. Put a curse on the manwho told my father, “Good news!You have a son.”

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.
