Jeremiah 16:5-9

5“For this is what the Lord says: Don’t enter a house where a mourning feast is taking place. Don’t go to lament or sympathize with them, for I have removed my peace from these people as well as my faithful love and compassion.” This is the Lord’s declaration.

6“Both great and small will die in this land without burial. No lament will be made for them, nor will anyone cut himself or shave his head for them.

7Food won’t be provided for the mourner to comfort him because of the dead. A consoling drink won’t be given him for the loss of his father or mother.

8Do not enter the house where feasting is taking place to sit with them to eat and drink.

9For this is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: I am about to eliminate from this place, before your very eyes and in your time, the sound of joy and gladness, the voice of the groom and the bride.
