Jeremiah 16:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ No one will offer food to comfort those who mourn the dead. No one will give a consoling drink to those who have lost their fathers or mothers.

⁸ “Don’t even go into a home where there is a banquet. Don’t sit with them to eat and drink. ⁹ This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: I’m going to put a stop to the sounds of joy and happiness and the sounds of brides and grooms in this place. This will happen in your lifetime, while you watch.
