Jeremiah 20:18
World English Bible (WEB)
Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
In context
16 Let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and didn’t repent. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime,
17 because he didn’t kill me from the womb. So my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
18 Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
