Contextual Overview
18Then certain ones said, “Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah, for instruction will never be lost from the priest, or counsel from the wise, or a word from the prophet. Come, let’s denounce him and pay no attention to all his words.” 19Pay attention to me, Lord.Hear what my opponents are saying! 20Should good be repaid with evil?Yet they have dug a pit for me.Remember how I stood before youto speak good on their behalf,to turn your anger from them. 21Therefore, hand their children over to famine,and give them over to the power of the sword.Let their wives become childless and widowed,their husbands slain by deadly disease,their young men struck down by the sword in battle. 22Let a cry be heard from their houseswhen you suddenly bring raiders against them,for they have dug a pit to capture meand have hidden snares for my feet.23But you, Lord, knowall their deadly plots against me.Do not wipe out their iniquity;do not blot out their sin before you.Let them be forced to stumble before you;deal with them in the time of your anger.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Let a cry be heard from their houses,.... A shrieking of women and children, not only for the loss of husbands and parents, but because of the entrance of the enemy into the city, and into their houses, to take away their lives and their substance; as follows:
when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them; or an army, as the Targum; either the Chaldean army, or rather the Roman army:
for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet: and therefore it was a just retaliation, that a troop or army should suddenly come upon them, and seize their persons and substance; though Kimchi understands it, as before, of poison, which they would have given him; but Jarchi, of a suspicion and vile calumny they raised of him, that he was guilty of adultery with another man's wife; a "whore" being called a "deep ditch" by the wise man, Proverbs 23:27; and so it is in the Talmud h.
h T. Bab. Kama, fol. 16. 2.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The sack of the city follows with all the horrible cruelties practiced at such a time.
