Jeremiah 16:9

Context
16:9 For I, the Lord God of Israel who rules over all, tell you what will happen. 1  I will put an end to the sounds of joy and gladness, to the glad celebration of brides and grooms in this land. You and the rest of the people will live to see this happen.’” 2 

1 tn Heb “For thus says Yahweh of armies the God of Israel.” The introductory formula which appears three times in vv. 1-9 (vv. 1, 3, 5) has been recast for smoother English style.

sn For the title “the Lord God of Israel who rules over all” see 7:3 and the study note on 2:19.

2 tn Heb “before your eyes and in your days.” The pronouns are plural including others than Jeremiah.
