Exegesis
In the clause ba’ah shimshah be’od yomam {בָּאָ֥ה שִׁמְשָׁ֛הּ בְּעֹ֥ד יוֹמָ֖ם | bā-’āh šim-šāh bə-ʿōḏ yō-mām} ‘her sun has gone down while it is still day’, a Qal perfect verb, a suffixed noun, and a temporal prepositional adjunct combine to convey an untimely catastrophe.
In context — Jeremiah 15:9
The one who bore seven languishes; she has breathed out her life and her sun has gone down while it is still day. She is ashamed and humiliated. And their remnant I will give to the sword before their enemies, declares the LORD .
