Jeremiah 16:1-13 - ESV Bible - The word of the LORD came to me: "You shall not...

Famine, Sword, and Death

1 The word of the LORD came to me:

2 "You shall not take a wife, nor shall you have sons or daughters in this place.

3 For thus says the LORD concerning the sons and daughters who are born in this place, and concerning the mothers who bore them and the fathers who fathered them in this land:

4 ¹They shall die of deadly diseases. ²They shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried. ³They shall be as dung on the surface of the ground. ⁴They shall perish by the sword and by famine, ⁵and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the air and for the beasts of the earth.

5 "For thus says the LORD: ⁶Do not enter the house of mourning, or go to lament or grieve for them, for I have taken away my peace from this people, my steadfast love and mercy, declares the LORD.

6 Both great and small shall die in this land. ⁷They shall not be buried, and no one shall lament for them or ⁸cut himself ⁹or make himself bald for them.

7 No one shall ¹⁰break bread for the mourner, to comfort him for the dead, nor shall anyone give him the cup of consolation to drink for his father or his mother.

8 You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and drink.

9 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: ¹¹Behold, I will silence in this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.

10 "And when you tell this people all these words, and they say to you, ¹²'Why has the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? What is our iniquity? What is the sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?'

11 then you shall say to them: ¹³'Because your fathers have forsaken me, declares the LORD, and ¹⁴have gone after other gods and have served and worshiped them, and have forsaken me and have not kept my law,

12 and because ¹⁵you have done worse than your fathers, for behold, ¹⁶every one of you follows his stubborn, evil will, refusing to listen to me.

13 Therefore ¹⁷I will hurl you out of this land into ¹⁸a land that neither you nor your fathers have known, ¹⁹and there you shall serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.'
