Jeremiah 16:1-9

1And the wordH1697 of Jehovah came to me, sayingH559,

2Thou shalt not takeH3947 thee a wifeH802, and thou shalt not have sonsH1121 nor daughtersH1323 in this placeH4725.

3For thusH3541 saith Jehovah concerning the sonsH1121 and concerning the daughtersH1323 that are bornH3205 in this placeH4725, and concerning their mothersH517 that bearH3205 them, and concerning their fathersH1 that beget them in this landH776:

4They shall dieH4191 of painful deaths; they shall not beH1961 lamentedH5594, neither shall they beH1961 buriedH6912; they shall beH1961 as dungH1828 upon the faceH6440 of the groundH776, and they shall beH1961 consumed by the swordH2719, and by famineH7458, and their carcases shall beH1961 foodH3978 for the fowl of the heavensH8064 and for the beasts of the earthH776.

5For thusH3541 saith Jehovah: Enter not into the houseH1004 of wailing, neither goH935 to lamentH5594 or bemoan them; for I have taken away my peaceH7965 from this peopleH5971, saith Jehovah, the loving-kindness and the tender mercies.

6Both greatH1419 and smallH6996 shall dieH4191 in this landH776: they shall not be buriedH6912; and none shall lamentH5594 for them, or cutH1413 themselves, nor makeH7139 themselves baldH7139 for them.

7Nor shall they breakH6536 [bread] for them in mourningH60, to comfortH5162 them for the deadH4191; neither shall they giveH8248 them the cupH3563 of consolationsH8575 to drinkH8248 for their fatherH1 or for their motherH517.

8And thou shalt not goH935 into the houseH1004 of feastingH4960, to sitH3427 with them, to eatH398 and to drinkH8354.

9For thusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, the 1GodH430 of IsraelH3478: Behold, I will cause to ceaseH7673 out of this placeH4725, before your eyesH5869, and in your daysH3117, the voiceH6963 of mirth and the voiceH6963 of joyH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroom and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618.
