Jeremias 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.

Jeremias 20:16 In-Context

14 Maldito o dia em que nasci; não seja bendito o dia em que minha mãe me deu � luz.
15 Maldito o homem que deu as novas a meu pai, dizendo: Nasceu- te um filho, alegrando-o com isso grandemente.
16 E seja esse homem como as cidades que o senhor destruiu sem piedade; e ouça ele um clamor pela manhã, e um alarido ao meio-dia.
17 Por que não me matou na madre? assim minha mãe teria sido a minha sepultura, e teria ficado grávida perpetuamente!
18 Por que saí da madre, para ver trabalho e tristeza, e para que se consumam na vergonha os meus dias?
