NASB
"Why did I ever come forth from the womb To look on trouble and sorrow, So that my days have been spent in shame?"
— Jeremiah 20:18, NASB
“Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame? ”
“Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame? ”
“Why came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?”
“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.”
“Why came I out of the womb, to see labour and sorrow, and that my days should be spent in confusion? ”
“Why did I come from my mother's body to see pain and sorrow, so that my days might be wasted with shame?”
“Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame? ”
Cursed be the man who brought the news To my father, saying, "A baby boy has been born to you!" And made him very happy.
But let that man be like the cities Which the LORD overthrew without relenting, And let him hear an outcry in the morning And a shout of alarm at noon;
Because he did not kill me before birth, So that my mother would have been my grave, And her womb ever pregnant.
Why did I ever come forth from the womb To look on trouble and sorrow, So that my days have been spent in shame?
