Jeremiah 16:7-9

Living Bible

⁷ No one shall comfort the mourners with a meal nor send them a cup of wine expressing grief for their parents’ death.

⁸ As a sign to them of these sad days ahead,^[a] don’t you join them anymore in their feasts and parties—don’t even eat a meal with them. ⁹ For the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: In your own lifetime, before your very eyes, I will end all laughter in this land—the happy songs, the marriage feasts, the songs of bridegrooms and of brides.
