Jeremiah 16:1-4
21st Century King James Version
16 The word of the Lord came also unto me, saying,
2 “Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.”
3 For thus saith the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who begot them in this land:
4 “They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried, but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth. And they shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, and their carcasses shall be meat for the fowls of heaven and for the beasts of the earth.”
