לָכֵ֛ן יִפְּל֥וּ בַחוּרֶ֖יהָ בִּרְחֹבֹתֶ֑יהָ וְכָל־אַנְשֵׁ֨י הַמִּלְחָמָ֤ה יִדַּ֙מּוּ֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא נְאֻ֖ם יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֽוֹת׃
Certes, ses jeunes gens succombent sur ses places publiques, et tous les guerriers sont anéantis en ce jour, dit l’Éternel-Cebaot.
Rashi on Jeremiah
Therefore This is an expression of an oath.
Rashi on Jeremiah
shall be destroyed Heb. ידמו, [lit. shall be silent,] shall be destroyed, but it does not deviate from being an expression of silence, for in every ruined city, no voice is heard.
