Jeremiah 16:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 16:10

8 Also you shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and drink.”

9 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, ^aI will cause to cease from this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of¹ mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.

10 “And it shall be, when you show this people all these words, and they say to you, ^a‘Why has the Lord pronounced all this great disaster against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?’

11 then you shall say to them, ^a‘Because your fathers have forsaken Me,’ says the Lord; ‘they have walked after other gods and have served them and worshiped them, and have forsaken Me and not kept My law.

12 And you have done ^aworse than your fathers, for behold, ^beach one follows the dictates of his own evil heart, so that no one listens to Me.

13 ^aTherefore I will cast you out of this land ^binto a land that you do not know, neither you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night, where I will not show you favor.’
