Jeremiah 20:15 in Context — Jeremiah 20

13 Cantai ao SENHOR, louvai ao SENHOR; pois ele livra a alma do necessitado da mão dos malfeitores.

14 Maldito seja o dia em que nasci! O dia em que minha mãe me teve não seja bendito!

15 Maldito seja o homem que deu as novas a meu pai, dizendo, Um filho macho te nasceu, trazendo-lhe assim muita alegria.

16 E seja tal homem como as cidades que o SENHOR assolou sem se arrepender; e ouça gritos de manhã, e clamores ao meio dia;

17 Por ele não ter me matado no ventre, de modo que minha mãe teria sido minha sepultura, e o ventre uma gravidez perpétua.
