Jeremiah 7:34 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:34

Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from
the streets of Jerusalem
Signifying that the devastation should not only be in and about Jerusalem, but should reach all over the land of Judea; since in all cities, towns, and villages, would cease the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness;
upon any account whatever; and, instead of that, mourning, weeping, and lamentation: the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride;
no marrying, and giving in marriage, and so no expressions of joy on such occasions; and consequently no likelihood, at present, of repeopling the city of Jerusalem, and the other cities of Judah: for the land shall be desolate;
without people to dwell in it, and till it. The Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions, read, "the whole land".

33 The corpses of this people will be food for birds and wild animals, with no one to drive them off.

34 I will silence the sound of joy and delight as well as the voice of bride and bridegroom in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, for the country will be reduced to a wasteland.
