How can I myself alone bear your problems, your burdens, and your strife?

Jeremiah 20:14-18
Cursed is the day in which I was born. Don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying,“ A boy is born to you,” making him very glad.Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn’t repent. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;because he didn’t kill me from the womb. So my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

Jeremiah 20:7-9
Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry,“ Violence and destruction!” because Yahweh’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all day.If I say, I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t.
