NET Bible
"For he did not kill me before I came from the womb, making my pregnant mother’s womb my grave forever."
— Jeremiah 20:17, NET Bible
“Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.”
“because he slew me not from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great. ”
“because he didn't kill me from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.”
“Who slew me not from the womb, that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb an everlasting conception.”
“Because he did not put me to death before my birth took place: so my mother's body would have been my last resting-place, and she would have been with child for ever.”
“Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.”
Cursed be the day I was born! May that day not be blessed when my mother gave birth to me.
Cursed be the man who made my father very glad when he brought him the news that a baby boy had been born to him!
May that man be like the cities that the LORD destroyed without showing any mercy. May he hear a cry of distress in the morning and a battle cry at noon.
For he did not kill me before I came from the womb, making my pregnant mother’s womb my grave forever.
Why did I ever come forth from my mother’s womb? All I experience is trouble and grief, and I spend my days in shame.
