"For this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Before your eyes and in your days I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in this place."
I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness
Isaiah 24:8 The joyful timbrels are stilled, the noise of the revelers has stopped, the joyful harp is silent.
Isaiah 51:3 "The LORD will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing."
Ezekiel 26:13 "I will put an end to your noisy songs, and the music of your harps will be heard no more."
Amos 6:4-7 You lie on beds adorned with ivory and lounge on your couches. You dine on choice lambs and fattened calves. You strum away on your harps like David and improvise on musical instruments. You drink wine by the bowlful and use the finest lotions, but you do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph. Therefore you will be among the first to go into exile; your feasting and lounging will end.
and to the voices of bride and bridegroom
Psalm 78:63 Fire consumed their young men, and their young women had no wedding songs; ...
in this place
Isaiah 22:12-14 The LORD, the LORD Almighty, called you on that day to weep and to wail, to tear out your hair and put on sackcloth. But see, there is joy and revelry, slaughtering of cattle and killing of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine! "Let us eat and drink," you say, "for tomorrow we die!"
Revelation 18:23 "The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never he heard in you again. Your merchants were the world's important people. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray."
