Jeremiah 20:15

Context

20:15 Cursed be the man

who made my father very glad

when he brought him the news

that a baby boy had been born to him! 1 

1 tn Heb “Cursed be the man who brought my father the news saying, ‘A son, a male, has been born to you,’ making glad his joy.” This verse has been restructured for English stylistic purposes.

sn The birth of a child was an occasion of great joy. This was especially true if the child was a boy because it meant the continuance of the family line and the right of retention of the family property. See Ruth 4:10, 13-17.
