Jeremiah 16:5

16:5 “Moreover I, the Lord, tell you: 1  ‘Do not go into a house where they are having a funeral meal. Do not go there to mourn and express your sorrow for them. For I have stopped showing them my good favor, 2  my love, and my compassion. I, the Lord, so affirm it! 3 

Jeremiah 34:15

34:15 Recently, however, you yourselves 4  showed a change of heart and did what is pleasing to me. You granted your fellow countrymen their freedom and you made a covenant to that effect in my presence in the house that I have claimed for my own. 5
