Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
12 But, Yahweh of Hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them; for to you have I revealed my cause.
13 Sing to Yahweh, praise you Yahweh; for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evil-doers.
14 Cursed be the day in which I was born: don`t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.
15 Cursed be the man who brought news to my father, saying, A man-child is born to you; making him very glad.
16 Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn`t repent: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;
17 because he didn`t kill me from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
18 Why came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
