Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.

Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 7:34

Theological / Devotional

Voice of mirth. Woes and lamentations would take the place of mirth and gladness. Especially mentioned as ceasing were the joyous songs and music with which the bridegroom and his bride were escorted from her home to his (see Isa. 24:7, 8; Jer. 16:9; Rev. 18:23).

Desolate. Heb. chorbah, used of places that were once inhabited but had fallen into ruins. The land would become a veritable waste and desert.
