Jeremiah 2:12
Douay-Rheims
Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and ye gates thereof, be very desolate, saith the Lord.
Rashi
O heavens, be astonished Heb. שמו, an expression of astonishment, like השתוממוּ. It is the imperative form, with the same vowel points as (I Sam. 14:9): “If they say thus to us, “Wait (דּמּוּ) .”
and storm Heb. ושערו, an expression of סער, a storm.
become very desolate As though you are becoming desolate because of the Temple that is destined to be destroyed.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
