Jeremiah 20:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² O Lord of hosts, you test the righteous
    and probe the mind and the heart.
Let me behold your retribution on them,
    for to you I have committed my cause.
¹³ Sing to the Lord;
    praise the Lord.
For he has rescued the life of the poor
    from the power of the wicked.
¹⁴ Cursed be the day
    on which I was born!
May the day when my mother bore me
    be forever unblessed.
