Exegesis
Hineni {הִנְנִי | hin-nē-nî} “behold I” foregrounds imminent action, introducing the Hiphil participle mashbit {מַשְׁבִּית | mash-bîṯ} “causing to cease.”
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.
