Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 14 is found in chapter 20 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah expresses one of the book’s most intense confessions: he feels seduced by the mission while being humiliated by its consequences. God’s word is like a fire shut up in his bones, impossible to contain. Yet the lament ends in an existential crisis, showing the psychological and spiritual cost of prophetic ministry without turning suffering into a lack of faith.

Verflucht sei der Tag, darin ich geboren bin; der Tag müsse ungesegnet sein, darin mich meine Mutter geboren hat!
Maldito el día en que nací: el día en que mi madre me parió no sea bendito.
Maldito el día en que nací; que no sea bendito el día en que mi madre me dio a luz.
Maudit soit le jour où je suis né! Que le jour où ma mère m'a enfanté Ne soit pas béni!
Maledetto sia il giorno che io nacqui; il giorno che mia madre mi partorì non sia benedetto.
Maldito o dia em que nasci; não seja bendito o dia em que minha mãe me deu à luz.
願我出生的那日受詛咒! 願我母親生我的那天不蒙福!
