Exegesis
The verse opens with ki {כִּי | kî} “for” + kōh {כֹה | kō} + ʾāmar {אָמַר | ʾā-mar} “says,” a standard prophetic introduction.
In context — Jeremiah 16:9
For thus says the LORD of hosts and the God of Israel : Look, I am about to stop in this place—before your eyes and during your days—the voice of joy , the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
