Deficient Disciples, Sufficient Savior
 

14 Cursed be the day I was born!
       May the day my mother bore me not be blessed!

 15 Cursed be the man who brought my father the news,
       who made him very glad, saying,
       "A child is born to you—a son!"

 16 May that man be like the towns
       the LORD overthrew without pity.
       May he hear wailing in the morning,
       a battle cry at noon.

 17 For he did not kill me in the womb,
       with my mother as my grave,
       her womb enlarged forever.

 18 Why did I ever come out of the womb
       to see trouble and sorrow
       and to end my days in shame?

Dr. Richard P. Bucher
