Jeremiah 16:1-9

1The wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 came also unto me, sayingH559,

2Thou shalt not takeH3947 thee a wifeH802, neither shalt thou have sonsH1121 or daughtersH1323 in this placeH4725.

3For thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 concerning the sonsH1121 and concerning the daughtersH1323 that are bornH3205 in this placeH4725, and concerning their mothersH517 that bareH3205 them, and concerning their fathersH1 that begatH3209 them in this landH776;

4They shall dieH4191 of grievousH8463 deathsH4463; they shall not be lamentedH5594; neither shall they be buriedH6912; but they shall be as dungH1828 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127: and they shall be consumedH3615 by the swordH2719, and by famineH7458; and their carcasesH5038 shall be meatH3978 for the fowlsH5775 of heavenH8064, and for the beastsH929 of the earthH776.

5For thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, EnterH935 not into the houseH1004 of mourningH4798, neither goH3212 to lamentH5594 nor bemoanH5110 them: for I have taken awayH622 my peaceH7965 from this peopleH5971, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, even lovingkindnessH2617 and merciesH7356.1

6Both the greatH1419 and the smallH6996 shall dieH4191 in this landH776: they shall not be buriedH6912, neither shall men lamentH5594 for them, nor cutH1413 themselves, nor make themselves baldH7139 for them:

7Neither shall men tearH6536 themselves for them in mourningH60, to comfortH5162 them for the deadH4191; neither shall men give them the cupH3563 of consolationH8575 to drinkH8248 for their fatherH1 or for their motherH517.2

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

9For thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will cause to ceaseH7673 out of this placeH4725 in your eyesH5869, and in your daysH3117, the voiceH6963 of mirthH8342, and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroomH2860, and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618.
