Rashi, on Jer 8:18

“My sorrow is above sorrow, my heart mourneth within me.”

“Were I to suppress my grief Heb. מבליגיתי, my suppression, and it is a noun, (mes estenimenc in O.F.). That is to say, if I said, I will suppress and keep in my grief. my heart is sick within me From the voice of the prophecies that are revealed to me of the coming retributions.”

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
