Jeremiah 16:7-9
International Standard Version
7 They won’t break bread[a] for the mourner to be consoled for the dead. They won’t give anyone the cup of consolation to drink for his father or[b] mother. 8 Don’t go to a banquet to sit with people[c] to eat and drink.” 9 For this is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel, says: “In this place I’m about to bring an end to the sounds of happiness and rejoicing, the sounds of the bridegroom and the bride. I’ll do it in front of your eyes and in your time.
