Jeremías 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 ) .

Jeremías 20:15 In-Context

13 Cantad al SEÑOR, load al SEÑOR; porque ha librado el alma del pobre de mano de los malignos.

14 Maldito el día en que nací; el día en que mi madre me dio a luz no sea bendito.

15 Maldito el hombre que dio nuevas a mi padre, diciendo: Hijo varón te ha nacido, haciéndole alegrarse así mucho.

16 Y sea el tal hombre como las ciudades que asoló el SEÑOR, y no se arrepintió; y oiga gritos de mañana, y voces al mediodía;

17 porque no me mató en el vientre, y mi madre hubiera sido mi sepulcro, y su vientre concebimiento perpetuo.
