Jeremiah 20:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² The Lord of heavenly forces tests the righteous
    and discerns the heart and the mind.
Let me see your retribution upon them,
    for I have committed my case to you.
¹³ Sing to the Lord,
    praise the Lord,
        for he has rescued the needy
        from the clutches of evildoers.
¹⁴ Cursed be the day that I was born.
    May the day my mother gave birth to me not be blessed.
