So this is what the Lord says [^Caddressed to Jeremiah]: “Do not go into a house where there is a funeral ·meal [feast; ^Ca pagan mourning festival; Amos 6:7]. Do not go there to ·cry for the dead [lament] or to ·show your sorrow for [bemoan] them, because I have taken back my ·blessing [peace; welfare], my ·love [loyalty], and my ·pity [compassion] from these people,” says the Lord.

“Do not go into a ·house where the people are having a feast [banquet house; ^Ldrinking house] to sit down to eat and drink,

While they are ·stirred [heated] up, I will give ·a feast for [drinks to] them and make them drunk. They will shout and laugh. And they will sleep forever and never wake up!” says the Lord.
