Jeremiah 16:5-7

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁵ “For this is what the Lord says: Don’t enter a house where a mourning feast is taking place.^[a] Don’t go to lament or sympathize with them, for I have removed My peace from these people”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“as well as My faithful love and compassion.^{(A) 6} Both great and small will die in this land without burial. No lament will be made for them, nor will anyone cut himself or^(B) shave his head for them.^{[b] 7} Food won’t be provided for the mourner^(C) to comfort him because of the dead. A cup of consolation won’t be given him because of the loss of his father or mother.
