Jeremiah 16:1-4
International Children’s Bible
The Day of Disaster
16 Then the Lord spoke his word to me: 2 “You must not get married. You must not have sons or daughters in this place.”
3 The Lord says this about the sons and daughters born in this land. And he says this about the mothers and fathers of those children: 4 “They will die of terrible diseases. No one will cry for them. No one will bury them. Their bodies will lie on the ground like dung. They will die in war, or they will starve to death. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky. And they will be food for the wild animals.”

They will not be mourned or buried(C) but will be like dung lying on the ground.(D) They will perish by sword and famine,(E) and their dead bodies will become food for the birds and the wild animals.”(F)
