Jeremiah 16:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ “Do not go into a house where the people are having a feast. Do not go there and sit down to eat and drink. ⁹ This is what the Lord of heaven’s armies, the God of Israel, says: I will soon stop the sounds of joy and gladness in this place! I will stop the happy sounds of brides and bridegrooms! This will happen during your lifetime.

¹⁰ “You will tell the people of Judah these things. And they will ask you, ‘Why has the Lord said these terrible things to us? What have we done wrong? What sin have we done against the Lord our God?’
