[Avodah] wedding phrase; why turned up-side down???; yirmiyahu; ch 7;

[Harvey Benton]

the following is the text from machon-mamre.....the obvious text of the novi is that the voice.....kol sasson, vkol simcha, will be ceased, and the land desolate......why start off a wedding (sheva brachos) off with a klala like that???
33 And the carcasses of this people shall be food for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall frighten them away.לד  וְהִשְׁבַּתִּי מֵעָרֵי יְהוּדָה, וּמֵחֻצוֹת יְרוּשָׁלִַם, קוֹל שָׂשׂוֹן וְקוֹל שִׂמְחָה, קוֹל חָתָן וְקוֹל כַּלָּה:  כִּי לְחָרְבָּה, תִּהְיֶה הָאָרֶץ.34 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall be desolate.
