Verse 16

16. they shall say no more—The Jews shall no longer glory in the possession of the ark; it shall not be missed, so great shall be the blessings of the new dispensation. The throne of the Lord, present Himself, shall eclipse and put out of mind the ark of the covenant and the mercy seat between the cherubim, God's former throne. The ark, containing the two tables of the law, disappeared at the Babylonian captivity, and was not restored to the second temple, implying that the symbolical "glory" was to be superseded by a "greater glory" ( :-).

neither . . . visit it—rather, "neither shall it be missed" (so in Jeremiah 23:4).

done—rather, "neither shall it (the ark) be made (that is, be restored) any more" [MAURER].
