More than once, Jeremiah has described how the Lord’s judgment of Judah will end all the sounds of joy and celebration in the land (Jeremiah 7:34; Jeremiah 16:9; Jeremiah 25:10). That judgment is now reversed and songs of thanksgiving, and the voices of those who celebrate
will once again come from Jerusalem1.
19 Out of them shall come songs of thanksgiving, and the voices of those who celebrate. I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will make them honored, and they shall not be small.
