15. Jeremiah
Sing to the Lord. Give praise to the Lord. He rescues the life
of the needy from the hands
of the wicked.
Cursed be the day
I was born! May the day my mother bore me not be blessed!
Why did I ever come out of the womb to see trouble
and sorrow and to end my days
in shame?
But if I say,
'I will not mention him or speak any more
in his name,' his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up
in my bones. I am weary
of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.
Whenever I speak,
I cry out proclaiming violence
and destruction. So the word of the Lord has brought me insult and reproach
all day long.
