20:14Cursed be the day I was born!
May that day not be blessed when my mother gave birth to me.29
Footnotes
- 29 From the heights of exaltation, Jeremiah returns to the depths of despair. For similar mood swings in the psalms of lament compare Ps 102. Verses 14–18 are similar in tone and mood to Job 3:1–10. They are very forceful rhetorical ways of Job and Jeremiah expressing the wish that they had never been born.
