Jeremiah 20:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² Lord of the Heavenly Armies,
    who tests the righteous,
    who sees the inner motives^[a] and the heart,
let me see you take vengeance on them,
    for I’ve committed my case to you.
¹³ Sing to the Lord,
    give praise to the Lord!
For he saves the life of the poor
    from the hand of the wicked.

¹⁴ Let the day on which I was born be cursed.
    Don’t let the day on which my mother gave birth to me be blessed.
