Jeremiah 16:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 They shall die, the great and the lowly, in this land, unburied and unlamented.[a] No one will gash themselves or shave their heads for them.(A) 7 They will not break bread with the bereaved to offer consolation for the dead; they will not give them the cup of consolation to drink over the death of father or mother.(B)
8 Do not enter a house of feasting to sit eating and drinking with them.
