Ecclesiastes 6:3

Jeremiah 20:14-18
New International Version
14 Cursed be the day I was born!(A)
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(B)
the Lord overthrew without pity.
May he hear wailing(C) in the morning,
a battle cry at noon.
17 For he did not kill me in the womb,(D)
with my mother as my grave,
her womb enlarged forever.
18 Why did I ever come out of the womb(E)
to see trouble(F) and sorrow
and to end my days in shame?(G)
Matthew 26:24

24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him.(A) But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
