“Thus saith the Lord, again there shall be heard in this place, etc.] This is to be connected with the beginning of (<243311>Jeremiah 33:11); and what follows to be put in a parenthesis: which ye say [shall be] desolate without man and without beast: as in (<243243>Jeremiah 32:43); the destruction of it being now certain and inevitable; and by which such desolation would be made throughout the country, that very few men or cattle would be left: [even] in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate; as they were already, the country being in the hands of the enemy, and the city almost depopulated by the sword, famine, and pestilence, and just about to be delivered…”

“33:10-11 Although seventy years of exile would come first, the Lord’s curse (7:34) would be reversed (25:10-12). Singing would be a hallmark of the restored worship (Ps 136:1). This prediction was fulfilled in 538–536 BC when worship in Jerusalem was restored and the foundations of the Second Temple were laid (Ezra 3).”
