Jeremiah 16:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁷ No one will bring food to those who are crying for the dead. No one will comfort those whose mother or father has died. No one will offer a drink to comfort those who are crying for the dead.

⁸ “Jeremiah, don’t go into a house where the people are having a party. Don’t go into that house and sit down to eat and drink. ⁹ This is what the Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel says: I will soon stop the sounds of people having fun. I will stop the happy sounds of people enjoying a wedding party. This will happen during your lifetime. I will do these things very soon.
