Jeremiah 16:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 For thus saith the Lord, [a]Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament, nor be moved for them: for I have taken my peace from this people, saith the Lord, even mercy and compassion.
6 Both the great, and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, [b]nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them.
7 They shall not stretch out the hands for them in the mourning to comfort them for the dead, neither shall they give them the [c]cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
