Jeremiah 6:13

Context

6:13 “That is because, from the least important to the most important of them,

all of them are greedy for dishonest gain.

Prophets and priests alike,

all of them practice deceit.

Jeremiah 13:14

Context
13:14 And I will smash them like wine bottles against one another, children and parents alike. 1  I will not show any pity, mercy, or compassion. Nothing will keep me from destroying them,’ 2  says the Lord.”

Jeremiah 16:6

Context
16:6 Rich and poor alike will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned. People will not cut their bodies or shave off their hair to show their grief for them. 3 

1 tn Or “children along with their parents”; Heb “fathers and children together.”

2 tn Heb “I will not show…so as not to destroy them.”

3 sn These were apparently pagan customs associated with mourning (Isa 15:2; Jer 47:5) which were forbidden in Israel (Lev 19:8; 21:5) but apparently practiced anyway (Jer 41:5).
