Jeremiah 20:16

16 May that man be like the cities ^{▼▼ The cities alluded to are Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities of the Jordan plain which had become proverbial for their wickedness and for the destruction that the Lord brought on them because of it. See Isa 1:9–10; 13:19; Jer 23:14; 49:18.}
that the Lord destroyed without showing any mercy.
May he hear a cry of distress in the morning
and a battle cry at noon.
