Jeremiah 16:2-4

2“You shall not take a wife for yourself nor have sons or daughters in this place.” 3For this is what the Lord says concerning the sons and daughters born in this place, and concerning their 1mothers who give birth to them, and their 2fathers who father them in this land: 4“They will 3die of deadly diseases, they 4will not be mourned or buried; they will be like 5dung on the surface of the ground. And they will perish by sword and famine, and their dead bodies will become food for the 6birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.”
