Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

(Occurrence 0) Why is it that I came out from the womb to see troubles and agony … shame?
(Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what this from,womb come_out to=see toil and,sorrow and,end in/on/at/with,shame days,my )
Jeremiah uses this rhetorical question to complain that there was no good reason for him to be born. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “There was no reason for me to be born only to see troubles and agony … shame.”

The words “troubles” and “agony” mean basically the same thing and emphasize the amount and severity of suffering. Alternate translation: “to experience so much suffering”
