Jeremiah 16:4-6
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:
