Jeremiah 20:15

Jeremiah 20:15

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

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, Lu 2:10.

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.
