They will not be buried, and they will not mourn for them, and no one will cut himself with a blade, and no one will shave himself for them. ⁷ And they will not break bread for the mourning ceremony for them, to comfort him because of the dead. And they will not give drink to them, the cup of desolation, for their fathers,^[b] or for their mothers.^[c]
