Jeremiah 20:15 in Context — Jeremiah 20

13 Cantad á Jehová, load á Jehová: porque librado ha el alma del pobre de mano de los malignos.

14 Maldito el día en que nací: el día en que mi madre me parió no sea bendito.

15 Maldito el hombre que dió nuevas á mi padre, diciendo, Hijo varón te ha nacido, haciéndole alegrarse así mucho.

16 Y sea el tal hombre como las ciudades que asoló Jehová, y no se arrepintió: y oiga gritos de mañana, y voces al medio día;

17 Porque no me mató en el vientre, y mi madre me hubiera sido mi sepulcro, y su vientre concebimiento perpetuo.
