Jeremiah 16:5-9

5For thus says the Lord, “Do not enter a house of 12mourning, or go to lament or to console them; for I have 3withdrawn My peace from this people,” declares the Lord, “My 4lovingkindness and compassion. 6Both 5great men and small will die in this land; they will not be buried, they will not be lamented, nor will anyone 6gash himself or 7shave his head for them. 7Men will not 8break bread in mourning for them, to comfort anyone for the dead, nor give them a cup of consolation to drink for anyone’s father or mother. 8Moreover you shall 9not go into a house of feasting to sit with them to eat and drink.” 9For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I am going to 1011eliminate from this place, before your eyes and in your time, the voice of rejoicing and the voice of gladness, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride.
