Jeremiah 16:1-13

The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came also unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thou shalt not take
<03947> (8799)
thee a wife
<0802>_,
neither shalt thou have sons
<01121>
or daughters
<01323>
in this place
<04725>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
concerning the sons
<01121>
and concerning the daughters
<01323>
that are born
<03205> (8688)
in this place
<04725>_,
and concerning their mothers
<0517>
that bare
<03205> (8802)
them, and concerning their fathers
<01>
that begat
<03209>
them in this land
<0776>_;
They shall die
<04191> (8799)
of grievous
<08463>
deaths
<04463>_;
they shall not be lamented
<05594> (8735)_;
neither shall they be buried
<06912> (8735)_;
[but] they shall be as dung
<01828>
upon the face
<06440>
of the earth
<0127>_:
and they shall be consumed
<03615> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_,
and by famine
<07458>_;
and their carcases
<05038>
shall be meat
<03978>
for the fowls
<05775>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and for the beasts
<0929>
of the earth
<0776>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Enter
<0935> (8799)
not into the house
<01004>
of mourning
<04798>_,
neither go
<03212> (8799)
to lament
<05594> (8800)
nor bemoan
<05110> (8799)
them: for I have taken away
<0622> (8804)
my peace
<07965>
from this people
<05971>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
[even] lovingkindness
<02617>
and mercies
<07356>_.
{mourning: or, mourning feast}
Both the great
<01419>
and the small
<06996>
shall die
<04191> (8804)
in this land
<0776>_:
they shall not be buried
<06912> (8735)_,
neither shall [men] lament
<05594> (8799)
for them, nor cut
<01413> (8704)
themselves, nor make themselves bald
<07139> (8735)
for them:
Neither shall [men] tear
<06536> (8799)
[themselves] for them in mourning
<060>_,
to comfort
<05162> (8763)
them for the dead
<04191> (8801)_;
neither shall [men] give them the cup
<03563>
of consolation
<08575>
to drink
<08248> (8686)
for their father
<01>
or for their mother
<0517>_.
{tear...: or, break bread for them}
Thou shalt not also go
<0935> (8799)
into the house
<01004>
of feasting
<04960>_,
to sit
<03427> (8800)
with them to eat
<0398> (8800)
and to drink
<08354> (8800)_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Behold, I will cause to cease
<07673> (8688)
out of this place
<04725>
in your eyes
<05869>_,
and in your days
<03117>_,
the voice
<06963>
of mirth
<08342>_,
and the voice
<06963>
of gladness
<08057>_,
the voice
<06963>
of the bridegroom
<02860>_,
and the voice
<06963>
of the bride
<03618>_.
And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew
<05046> (8686)
this people
<05971>
all these words
<01697>_,
and they shall say
<0559> (8804)
unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD
<03068>
pronounced
<01696> (8765)
all this great
<01419>
evil
<07451>
against us? or what [is] our iniquity
<05771>_?
or what [is] our sin
<02403>
that we have committed
<02398> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_?
Then shalt thou say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, Because your fathers
<01>
have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and have walked
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
and have served
<05647> (8799)
them, and have worshipped
<07812> (8691)
them, and have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
me, and have not kept
<08104> (8804)
my law
<08451>_;
And ye have done
<06213> (8800)
worse
<07489> (8689)
than your fathers
<01>_;
for, behold
<02009>_,
ye walk
<01980> (8802)
every one
<0376>
after
<0310>
the imagination
<08307>
of his evil
<07451>
heart
<03820>_,
that they may not hearken
<08085> (8800)
unto me: {imagination: or, stubbornness}
Therefore will I cast
<02904> (8689)
you out of this land
<0776>
into a land
<0776>
that ye know
<03045> (8804)
not, [neither] ye nor your fathers
<01>_;
and there shall ye serve
<05647> (8804)
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>
day
<03119>
and night
<03915>_;
where I will not shew
<05414> (8799)
you favour
<02594>_.
