9 Bible Verses about Stopping Rejoicing

Then I will make to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land will become a ruin.

For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I am going to eliminate from this place, before your eyes and in your time, the voice of rejoicing and the voice of gladness, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride.

Moreover, I will take from them the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp.

and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.

So I will silence the sound of your songs, and the sound of your harps will be heard no more.

The gaiety of tambourines ceases,
The noise of revelers stops,
The gaiety of the harp ceases.

“I will also put an end to all her gaiety,
Her feasts, her new moons, her sabbaths
And all her festal assemblies.

The joy of our hearts has ceased;
Our dancing has been turned into mourning.

Therefore, they will now go into exile at the head of the exiles,
And the sprawlers’ banqueting will pass away.
