In the context of Jeremiah, this prophecy is directed towards Judah and Jerusalem, foretelling the Babylonian exile. The absence of joy and gladness signifies a complete societal breakdown and the cessation of normal life. This echoes the covenant curses found in <a href="/deuteronomy/28-30.htm">Deuteronomy 28:30</a>, where disobedience leads to loss and sorrow. The removal of joy is a common theme in prophetic literature, symbolizing God's displeasure and the consequences of sin.<p><b>the voices of the bride and bridegroom</b><br>The mention of the bride and bridegroom highlights the cessation of weddings, which are typically joyous occasions. In ancient Israel, weddings were significant social events, symbolizing hope and future prosperity. The silencing of these voices indicates a halt in community growth and continuity. This imagery is also used in <a href="/revelation/18-23.htm">Revelation 18:23</a> to describe the fall of Babylon, showing a parallel in the judgment of nations that turn away from God. The absence of marriage celebrations underscores the severity of the judgment and the desolation that will follow.<p><b>the sound of the millstones</b><br>Millstones were essential for daily life in ancient times, used to grind grain into flour for bread, a staple food. The cessation of their sound signifies economic collapse and the end of normal domestic activities. This imagery suggests a halt in productivity and sustenance, leading to famine and hardship. The sound of millstones is also mentioned in <a href="/ecclesiastes/12-4.htm">Ecclesiastes 12:4</a>, where it symbolizes the end of life and vitality. The removal of this sound indicates a profound disruption in the community's ability to sustain itself.<p><b>and the light of the lamp</b><br>The extinguishing of lamps represents the end of domestic life and security. In biblical times, lamps provided light in homes, symbolizing life, guidance, and God's presence. The removal of lamp light signifies darkness, both literal and spiritual, indicating God's withdrawal and the onset of despair. This imagery is echoed in <a href="/matthew/25.htm">Matthew 25:1-13</a>, where the parable of the ten virgins emphasizes the importance of being prepared for the coming of the Lord. The absence of light in Jeremiah's prophecy underscores the totality of the judgment and the loss of divine favor.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A prophet called by God to deliver messages of warning and hope to the people of Judah and Jerusalem.

No words could paint more terribly the entire breaking up of family life, not only in its occasional festivities, but in its daily routine. The imagery reappears in <a href="/context/revelation/18-22.htm" title="And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in you; and no craftsman, of whatever craft he be, shall be found any more in you; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in you;">Revelation 18:22-23</a>. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/25.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 10.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">The sound of the millstones</span>. Modern travel enables us (so conservative is the East) to realize the full force of this image. The hand-mill is composed of two stones. As a rule, "two women" (comp. <a href="/matthew/24-41.htm">Matthew 24:41</a>) sit at it facing each other; both have hold of the handle by which the upper is turned round on the 'nether' millstone. The one whose right hand is disengaged throws in the grain as occasion requires, through the hole in the upper stone" (Dr. Thomson). "The labor," remarks Dr. Robinson, "is evidently hard; and the grating sound of the mill is heard at a distance, indicating (like our coffee-mills) the presence of a family and of household life" ('Biblical Researches,' 2:181). <span class="cmt_word">Add to this the light of the candle</span> (or rather, <span class="accented">lamp</span>), and we have two of the most universally characteristic signs of domestic life. No family could dispense with the hand-mill, and, as the sermon on the mount implies, the poorest household had its "lamp" (<a href="/matthew/5-15.htm">Matthew 5:15</a> - the poverty of the family is indicated by the various uses to which the lamp-stand was applied).
