Listen to Jeremías 20:16
16 Sea ese hombre como las ciudades que el SEÑOR destruyó sin piedad ; oiga gritos de mañana y alaridos al mediodía,

Jeremías 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.

Jeremías 20:16 In-Context

14 Maldito el día en que nací; el día en que me dio a luz mi madre no sea bendito.
15 Maldito el hombre que dio la noticia a mi padre, diciendo: ¡Te ha nacido un hijo varón!, haciéndolo muy feliz.
16 Sea ese hombre como las ciudades que el SEÑOR destruyó sin piedad ; oiga gritos de mañana y alaridos al mediodía,
17 porque no me mató en el vientre para que mi madre hubiera sido mi sepultura, y su vientre embarazado para siempre.
18 ¿Por qué salí del vientre para ver pena y aflicción, y que acaben en verguenza mis días?
