Jeremiah 16:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version
5 This is what the Lord says.
Do not enter a house where people are grieving.
Do not go there to mourn for anyone or to comfort anyone,
for I have taken away my peace from this people, declares the Lord,
along with my mercy and my compassion.
6 Both the greatest and the least will die in this land.
No one will bury them or mourn for them.
No one will cut himself or shave himself for them.
7 No one will break bread to comfort those who mourn the dead.
No one will offer a consoling cup, even for a father or a mother.
