“For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the Lord; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.”
The scattering at Topeth: 'They will be buried in Topeth, for lack of space. This is what the LORD declares. I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in this place."' This verse indicates that bodies will be 'buried in Topeth' (the burial place of those killed in the siege), and normal life (sounds of joy and wedding celebrations) will cease. Theologically, this verse depicts the total reversal of normal social existence.
