Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

Jeremiah 7:34

Verse Jeremiah 7:34. Then will I cause to cease - the voice of mirth] There shall no longer be in Jerusalem any cause of joy; they shall neither marry nor be given in marriage, for the land shall be totally desolated. Such horrible sins required such a horrible punishment. And they must be horrible, when they move God to destroy the work of his own hands.
