the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, Give thanks to Yahweh of Hosts, for Yahweh is good, for his lovingkindness endures forever; [and of them] who bring [sacrifices of] thanksgiving into the house of Yahweh. For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first, says Yahweh.

A Promise of Total Reversal
Commentators highlight the powerful reversal in this promise. Jeremiah deliberately uses the exact phrases he once used to predict desolation (e.g., the silencing of the 'voice of the bridegroom') to now describe restoration. This repetition acts as a guarantee: the God who fulfilled the prophecy of judgment will just as surely fulfill this new promise of complete restoration and celebration.
