Jeremiah 49:25

not forsaken The negative quite reverses the sense we should expect. Accordingly Du. and Co., emending the MT., render respectively, "Woe to her!" and "Woe to me!" continuing, "For the city of praise is forsaken."

the city of my joy We should probably, with several Versions, omit the pronoun, and so put the words in the mouth of the prophet, and not of an inhabitant of the doomed city.
