The Pulpit Commentary on Jeremiah 7:34

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The land shall be desolate; rather, shall become a waste. The curse denounced upon the disobedient people in Le 26:31, 33 (for another parallel between this chapter and Leviticus 26:1-46; see Leviticus 26:23). In both passages the word for "waste" is khorbah, which, as Dr. Payne Smith remarks, is "used only of places which, having once been inhabited, have then fallen into ruin." Hebrew is rich in synonyms for the idea of "desolation."
