Jeremiah25:10

10 Moreover, I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride , the sound of the milstones, and the light of the candle .

I will take away all your mirth and jollity, whether used at weddings, or at any of your merry meetings, I will leave you nothing to rejoice in, your very wedding times, shall be times of mourning, and lamentation.

Nay I will not only deprive you of your mirth, but of those things that are necessary for you, as necessary as Bread and Light, the Milstone shall not move, you shall not have the light so much as of a candle; see the like expressions, Revel. 18.22.1. God here threatens not onely to take away their superfluities, and what he had hitherto lent them for their pleasure and delight, but also what they had for their necessary sustenance and to capacitate them to do their ordinary works.

Marginal references: Heb. I will cause to perish from them.; Chap. 7.34. and 16.9. Ezek, 26.13. Hos. 2.11. Rev. 18.23.
