Jeremiah 16:4-7

4“They will 1dieH4191 of deadlyH4463 diseasesH8463, they 2will not be lamentedH5594 or buriedH6912; they will be as 3dungH1828 on the surfaceH6440 of the groundH127 and comeH3615 to an endH3615 by swordH2719 and famineH7458, and their carcassesH5038 will becomeH1961 foodH3978 for the 4birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and for the beastsH929 of the earthH776.”

5For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “Do not enterH935 a houseH1004 of 56mourningH4798, or goH1980 to lamentH5594 or to consoleH5110 them; for I have 7withdrawnH622 My peaceH7965 from thisH2088 peopleH5971,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “My 8lovingkindnessH2617 and compassionH7356. 6Both 9greatH1419 menH1419 and smallH6996 will dieH4191 in thisH2088 landH776; they will not be buriedH6912, they will not be lamentedH5594, norH3808 will anyone 10gashH1413 himself or 11shaveH7139 his headH7139 for them. 7Men will not 12breakH6536 bread in mourningH60 for them, to comfortH5162 anyone for the deadH4191, norH3808 giveH8248 them a cupH3563 of consolationH8575 to drinkH8248 for anyone’s fatherH1 or motherH517.
