Jeremiah 20:12-14
International Children’s Bible
12 Lord of heaven’s armies, you test good people.
You look deeply into the heart and mind of a person.
I have told you my arguments against these people.
So let me see you give them the punishment they deserve.
13 Sing to the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
He saves the life of the poor.
He saves them from the power of wicked people.
Jeremiah’s Sixth Complaint
14 Let there be a curse on the day I was born.
Let there be no blessing on the day when my mother gave birth to me.
Jeremiah 20:12-14
New International Version
12 Lord Almighty, you who examine the righteous
and probe the heart and mind,(A)
let me see your vengeance(B) on them,
for to you I have committed(C) my cause.
13 Sing(D) to the Lord!
Give praise to the Lord!
He rescues(E) the life of the needy
from the hands of the wicked.(F)
14 Cursed be the day I was born!(G)
May the day my mother bore me not be blessed!
