Midrash su Geremia 22:29
אֶ֥רֶץ אֶ֖רֶץ אָ֑רֶץ שִׁמְעִ֖י דְּבַר־יְהוָֽה׃ (ס)
O terra, terra, terra, ascolta la parola dell'Eterno.
Sifra
7) "They shall bear their sin; they shall die childless (aririm)": If they have children, they bury their children; if they have no children, they die without children. And even though there is no proof for this, there is an "intimation" (i.e., Biblical support) for it, viz. (Jeremiah 29:30): "Write this man down as 'ariri,' a man that shall not prosper in his days, (for no man of his seed shall prosper"). We have heard the punishment, but not he exhortation. It is, therefore, written (Jeremiah 18:14): "The nakedness of the brother of your father you shall not reveal.'

9) "He has revealed the nakedness of his brother; they shall be childless (aririm)": If they have children, they bury their children; if they have no children, they die without children. And even though there is no proof for this, there is an "intimation" (i.e., Biblical support) for it, viz. (Jeremiah 29:30): "Write down this man as "ariri," etc." We have heard the punishment, but not the exhortation. It is, therefore, written (Jeremiah 18:16): "The nakedness of the wife of your brother you shall not reveal; she is the nakedness of your brother."
