For thus says the Lord God of Israel: Behold, I [will] make the voice of joy to cease out of this place before your eyes, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.

And I will destroy from [among] them the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the scent of ointment, and the light of a candle.

Thus says the Lord: There shall yet be heard in this place, of which you say, it is destitute of men and cattle, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, [the places] that have been made desolate for lack of men and cattle,

The wine shall mourn, the vine shall mourn, all the merry-hearted shall sigh.

The mirth of timbrels has ceased, the sound of the harp has ceased.

And he shall destroy the multitude of your musicians, and the sound of your psalteries shall be heard no more.

And I will take away all her gladness, her feasts, and her festivals at the new moon, and her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.

And the light of a lamp shall by no means shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and of a bride shall by no means be heard in you anymore. Your merchants were the magnates of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.

Thus says the Lord, The whole land shall be desolate; but I will not make a full end.

And I will scatter you among the nations, and the sword shall come upon you and consume you; and your land shall be desolate, and your cities shall be desolate.

Your land is desolate, your cities are burned with fire; strangers devour your land in your presence, and it is made desolate, overthrown by strange nations.

And the stores of your ornaments shall mourn, and you shall be left alone, and shall be leveled to the ground.

And I said, How long, O Lord? And He said, Until cities are deserted by reason of them not being inhabited, and the houses by reason of there being no men, and the land shall be left desolate.

And the land shall be utterly desolate together with them that inhabit it, because of the fruit of their doings.
