Jeremiah 16:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² ‘You must not marry in this place. You must not have sons or daughters here. ³ I will tell you what will happen to children who are born here and what will happen to their parents. ⁴ Terrible disease will kill them. Nobody will weep for them. Nobody will bury them. Their bodies will lie on the ground like dung. Either war or famine will kill them. Birds and wild animals will come to eat their dead bodies.’
