Jeremiah and Pashhur

¹⁴Yet I curse the day I was born! May no one celebrate the day of my birth.

¹⁵I curse the messenger who told my father, “Good news—you have a son!”

¹⁶Let him be destroyed like the cities of old that the Lord overthrew without mercy. Terrify him all day long with battle shouts,

¹⁷because he did not kill me at birth. Oh, that I had died in my mother’s womb, that her body had been my grave!

¹⁸Why was I ever born? My entire life has been filled with trouble, sorrow, and shame.

Jeremiah 20:14-18 (NLT)
