Jeremiah 16:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 They shall not stretch out the hands for them in the mourning to comfort them for the dead, neither shall they give them the [a]cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
8 Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink.
9 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, even in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
