Jeremiah 20:15-17
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
15 Cursed be the man that brought the tidings to my father, saying: A man child is born to thee: and made him greatly rejoice.
16 Let that man be as the cities that the Lord hath overthrown, and hath not repented: let him hear a cry in the morning, and howling at noontide:
17 Who slew me not from the womb, that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb an everlasting conception.

Jeremiah 20:15-17
New International Version
15 Cursed be the man who brought my father the news,
who made him very glad, saying,
“A child is born to you—a son!”
16 May that man be like the towns(A)
the Lord overthrew without pity.
May he hear wailing(B) in the morning,
a battle cry at noon.
17 For he did not kill me in the womb,(C)
with my mother as my grave,
her womb enlarged forever.
