Yirmeyah 20:16 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 20:16

And let that man be as the cities which the Lord overthrew,
&c.] In his fury, as the Targum and Septuagint add. Meaning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, who were utterly destroyed, and were never recovered: and repented not;
whose sentence God never repented of, nor revoked: this was very severe and uncharitable, to wish for so sore a destruction upon an innocent person; and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;
as soon as he is up in the morning, the first thing that salutes his ears, let it be the noise of an enemy invading the city he dwells in; and by noon let him hear the shouting of him, having broke in, and gotten the victory, seizing the plunder.

Yirmeyah 20:16 In-Context

14 Arur (cursed) be the day wherein I was born; let not the day wherein immi bore me yehi baruch (be blessed).

15 Arur (cursed) be the ish who brought news to avi, saying, A ben zachar (male child) is born unto thee; making him very glad.

16 And let that ish be as the towns which Hashem overthrew, and relented not; and let him hear the wailing in the boker, and the teru’ah (battle cry) at noontide;

17 Because he slaughtered me not from the womb; or that immi might have been my kever, and olam (forever) her womb enlarged.

18 Why came I forth out of the womb to see amal (trouble, toil) and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
