Jeremia 20:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 20:15

Cursed [be] the man who brought tidings to my father
The word signifies commonly good tidings, as the news of a child born, and especially a man child, is to its parent. The Septuagint use the same word the angel did, when he brought the tidings of the birth of Christ, ( Luke 2:10 Luke 2:11 ) . This was still more foolish and sinful, to curse the man that carried the tidings of his birth to his father; who did a right thing, and what was acceptable, and perhaps might be a good man. Kimchi observes, that there are some that say, it was known to Jeremiah that this man was Pashur, the son of Immer, and therefore he cursed him; but this is without any foundation; saying, a man child is born unto thee, making him very glad;
as the birth of a man child usually makes glad its parent, whether father or mother; see ( John 16:21 ) .

Jeremia 20:15 In-Context

13 Singet Jehova, preiset Jehova! Denn er hat die Seele des Armen errettet aus der Hand der ÜbeltĂ€ter.
14 Verflucht sei der Tag, an welchem ich geboren wurde; der Tag, da meine Mutter mich gebar, sei nicht gesegnet!
15 Verflucht sei der Mann, der meinem Vater die frohe Botschaft brachte und sprach: "Ein mÀnnliches Kind ist dir geboren", und der ihn hoch erfreute!
16 Und jener Mann werde den StÀdten gleich, die Jehova umgekehrt hat, ohne sich's gereuen zu lassen; und er höre ein Geschrei am Morgen und Feldgeschrei zur Mittagszeit:
17 weil er mich nicht tötete im Mutterleibe, so daß meine Mutter mir zu meinem Grabe geworden und ihr Leib ewig schwanger geblieben wĂ€re!
