[20:14] 1 sn From the heights of exaltation, Jeremiah returns to the depths of despair. For similar mood swings in the psalms of lament compare Ps 102. Verses 14-18 are similar in tone and mood to Job 3:1-10. They are very forceful rhetorical ways of Job and Jeremiah expressing the wish that they had never been born.

[50:22] sn The verbs in vv. 22-25 are all descriptive of the present, but all of this is really to take place in the future.

The poetry of this section makes it difficult, however, to render the verbs as future, as has been done regularly in the present translation.
