Jeremiah 7:34 - Exposition

The land shall be desolate ; rather, shall become a waste . The curse denounced upon the disobedient people in Le 26:31, 33 (for another parallel between this chapter and Leviticus 26:1-46 ; see Leviticus 26:23 ). In both passages the word for "waste" is khorbah , which, as Dr. Payne Smith remarks, is "used only of places which, having once been inhabited, have then fallen into ruin." Hebrew is rich in synonyms for the idea of "desolation."
