³⁴ And in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, I will put an end to the laughing voices, the voice of joy and the voice of the newly-married man and the voice of the bride: for the land will become a waste.

²³ And never again will the shining of lights be seen in you; and the voice of the newly-married man and the bride will never again be sounding in you: for your traders were the lords of the earth, and by your evil powers were all the nations turned out of the right way.

¹¹ And I will put an end to all her joy, her feasts, her new moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her regular meetings.

¹³ I will put an end to the noise of your songs, and the sound of your instruments of music will be gone for ever.

¹⁰ And more than this, I will take from them the sound of laughing voices, the voice of joy, the voice of the newly-married man, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the stones crushing the grain, and the shining of lights.

⁹ For the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, See, before your eyes and in your days I will put an end in this place to the laughing voices and the voice of joy; to the voice of the newly-married man and the voice of the bride.

⁷ The new wine is thin, the vine is feeble, and all the glad-hearted make sounds of grief.

⁸ The pleasing sound of all instruments of music has come to an end, and the voices of those who are glad.

³³ And I will send you out in all directions among the nations, and my sword will be uncovered against you, and your land will be without any living thing, and your towns will be made waste.

²⁷ For this is what the Lord has said: All the land will become a waste; I will make destruction complete.

⁷ Your country has become waste; your towns are burned with fire; as for your land, it is overturned before your eyes, made waste and overcome by men from strange lands.

¹³ But the land will become a waste because of its people, as the fruit of their works.

¹⁰ This is what the Lord has said: There will again be sounding in this place, of which you say, It is a waste, without man and without beast; even in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem which are waste and unpeopled, without man and without beast,

¹¹ Then I said, Lord, how long? And he said in answer, Till the towns are waste and unpeopled, and the houses have no men, and the land becomes completely waste,

²⁶ And in the public places of her towns will be sorrow and weeping; and she will be seated on the earth, waste and uncovered.
