Jeremiah 16:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ No one will bring food to the people who are crying for the dead. No one will comfort one whose mother or father has died. No one will offer a drink to comfort them.

⁸ “Do not go into a house where the people are having a feast. Do not go there and sit down to eat and drink. ⁹ This is what the Lord of heaven’s armies, the God of Israel, says: I will soon stop the sounds of joy and gladness in this place! I will stop the happy sounds of brides and bridegrooms! This will happen during your lifetime.
