Jeremiah 20:18 in context

  1. 16Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew,
    and didn’t repent.
    Let him hear a cry in the morning,
    and shouting at noontime;
  2. 17because he didn’t kill me from the womb.
    So my mother would have been my grave,
    and her womb always great.
  3. 18Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow,
    that my days should be consumed with shame?
