Jeremias 16:9

Jeremias 16:9 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 16:9

For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel
Who is able to do what he here threatens he will, and which he will do, notwithstanding his being the God of Israel; their hearts not being right with him, nor they steadfast in his covenant. Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, in your eyes, and in
your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness:
upon any account whatsoever, civil or religious; and that out of Jerusalem, where their religious feasts were kept, as well as where were often expressions of joy made on civil accounts; and this should be in their sight, it should be notorious and remarkable, that they could not but observe it; and it should be in a short time, in their days, though they were very desirous of putting these evil days far from them, and were not willing to believe they should be at all, or, however, not in their days: the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride;
the epithalamiums, or marriage songs, sung at the celebration of nuptials; these should cease, marrying and giving in marriage being over; the consequence of which must be ruin to the nation, a lawful succession of mankind being not otherwise to be kept up.

Jeremias 16:9 In-Context

8 Não entres na casa do banquete, para te assentares com eles a comer e a beber.

9 Pois assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos, o Deus de Israel: Eis que perante os vossos olhos, e em vossos dias, farei cessar deste lugar a voz de gozo e a voz de alegria, a voz do noivo e a voz da noiva.

10 E quando anunciares a este povo todas estas palavras, e eles te disserem: Por que pronuncia o Senhor sobre :nós todo este grande mal? Qual é a nossa iniqüidade? Qual é o pecado que cometemos contra o Senhor nosso Deus?

11 Então lhes dirás: Porquanto vossos pais me deixaram, diz o Senhor, e se foram após outros deuses, e os serviram e adoraram, e a mim me deixaram, e não guardaram a minha lei;
