Jeremiah 16:5-7

5For this is what the Lord says: “Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal; do not go to mourn or show sympathy, because I have withdrawn my blessing, my love and my pity from this people,” declares the Lord.

6“Both high and low will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned, and no one will cut themselves or shave their head for the dead.

7No one will offer food to comfort those who mourn for the dead—not even for a father or a mother—nor will anyone give them a drink to console them.
